In evaluating the cases for and against promoting democracy in state building after war, I argue that in the context of development, the role of democracy in facilitating growth is not clear and institutional development is more important towards building a stable state and facilitating long term growth. Despite the benefits of democracy, development is still possible with limited democratisation as long as the priority of development is institutional development. Examples from Taiwan, Somaliland, Rwanda, Brazil and even Britain show that development is not necessarily a product of democratisation but it is more so contingent on the time and effort put in to developing strong institutions that have legitimacy among the populace.
