Gat believes that the outcome of the second world war was not determined by the superior efficiency of liberal democracy but by the relative size of the protagonists .
盖特认为,决定第二次世界大战结果的,并不是由自由民主制度的出色效率,而是由参战国的相对规模。
According to gat , the japanese and germans proved that authoritarian powers can combine economic efficiency , popular support and military power in ways that make them highly efficient as states .
It also makes azar gat 's new book on the relationship between democracy and political and economic success particularly timely .
阿泽尔盖特(azargat)有关民主与政治和经济成就之间关系的新书也因此显得特别恰逢其时。
Writing in a recent edition of foreign affairs , azar gat , an israeli academic , suggests that if western democracies run into economic problems , a " successful non-democratic second world could then be regarded by many as an attractive alternative to liberal democracy . "
