Abstract

Through the use of the Program for International Student Assessment’s (PISA) Global Competence results, the Economic Intelligence Unit’s (EIU) Democracy Index ratings, and centralization-decentralization spectrum rubrics, this study shows the association between level of democracy and education system, and the association of these variables with the global competence of a country. Data were available for twenty-six countries for all three variables: Albania, Canada, Chile, Taiwan, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Greece, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Israel, Kazakhstan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Morocco, Panama, Philippines, Russia, Scotland (UK), Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, and Thailand.
