Özet: This paper includes a collection of accounts from leading scholars who conceptualized democracy. The paper displays various aspects of democracy including its effects on the social, political, economic and cultural progression of developing countries. The paper forwards the already-adapted points of discussion along with the secret aspects of democracy that are not clear for many. It is not possible to restrict the concept of democracy, and it is not fair to impose a democratic model that is enforced by a global system of regimes. As described by Abraham Lincoln, democracy is the government of people for the sake of people and ruled by people themselves. It is a system of governing whose concepts differ from place to place, from time to time and from person to person. Systems of governments, by no means, will be the same in all aspects. From this point of view, the paper sheds light on the ancient and Islamic practices of democracy, as well as the indigenous democracy of Africa through the case of Ethiopia.
