The main purpose of this paper is to discover the underlying of the debt crisis and examine the cross-country differences by analyzing the asymmetric supply and demand shocks for the member and candidate countries of the European Union for the pre-crisis period. Following the path of Bayoumi and Eichengreen (1993, 1997) and Blanchard and Quah (1989), the calculations show us that Greece has the largest supply shocks, while Turkey has the largest demand shocks. By looking at the impulse response functions associated with the SVARs, it is clear that Greece has the lowest adjustment speed to demand disturbances followed by the United Kingdom. Those countries which experienced debt crises in the EMU, seemed to have big supply and demand shocks and compared to other member countries the adjustment speed of their economies to these shocks are slower.

The globalization phenomenon has gained speed in various aspects especially since mid-1980s, this process in turn partially contributed to democratization of the many countries. This study researches the effect of democratization on economic growth in emerging markets over 2002-2015 period with panel cointegration test of Westerlund-Durbin-Hausman (2008) and panel causality test of Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012). The results revealed a cointegrating relationship between economic growth and democratization, but the interaction between democratization and growth varies from country to country. However, no causality relationships were found between democratization and economic growth in the short run. ; Özellikle 1980›li yılların ortalarından itibaren küreselleşme olgusu çeşitli yönlerden hız kazanmış ve bu süreç birçok ülkenin demokratikleşmesine kısmen katkıda bulunmuştur. Bu çalışma Westerlund-Durbin-Hausman (2008) panel eşbütünleşme testi ile Dumitrescu ve Hurlin (2012) panel nedensellik testini kullanarak 2002-2015 döneminde yükselen piyasa ekonomilerinde, demok-ratikleşmenin ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisini araştırmakta-dır. Çalışma sonucunda ekonomik büyüme ile demokratikleşme arasında uzun dönemli bir ilişki olduğu belirlenmiş, ancak de-mokratikleşme ile büyüme arasındaki etkileşimin ülkeden ülkeye farklılık gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, kısa dönemde demokratikleşme ile ekonomik büyüme arasında bir nedensellik ilişkisi olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.
