Abstract

Across the world, higher education leads to more democratic politics. The correlation between education and democracy is extremely. This idea has received a good deal of empirical support. Index of education in the newly associated states is due to compulsory schooling in the past higher than in the EU15. To analyse the relationship between the Index of Democracy and the Index of Education we used the Pearson Correlation Coefficient. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient was calculated not only between the Education Index and the Democracy Index but also between the Education Index and particular sub-indices of the Democracy Index: Electoral Process and Pluralism, Civil Liberties, Functioning of Government, Political Participation and Political Culture. Moreover we calculated the Pearson Coefficient of Correlation for newly associated EU countries and for all EU countries. Later we analysed the relationship between Democracy Index and Education Index via new methods: The Moran Scatters Plots and Moran's Coefficient of Spatial Autocorrelations were calculated. The geographic location and history are significant. Finally, the temporal spatial econometric model is constructed.
