Abstract

Contemporary democratic developments around the world make a need for processing tools to evaluate, to compare and to explain democratization processes
across countries and over the time. The following article presents the model for assessing democracy (Index of Democracy Level-IDL), based on the method of indexconstruction. This approach gives an opportunity to analyze the level of democracy of the given country in its different periods as well as to compare different countries by democracy level. In the article Armenian democracy in the time span between 1998 and 2012 is modeled and is estimated as well as factors mostly influencing democracy in Armenia by means of regression analysis are determined in order to reveal conditions and means for development of democracy.
