The benefits of using a quantitative comparative approach to studying representative democracy are explained. An overview of comparative perspectives of studying politics is presented; it is claimed that comparative approaches must strive to clarify the subject under study & the theoretical point of departure. Informed by Ronald Dahl's conceptualization of polyarchy, a framework for empirically determining the extent of democracy within multiple democratic political systems is presented. A cross-national analysis of factors that influence the extent of democracy within a democratic system is performed, illustrating that high levels of human development & economic success are effective in increasing a system's "democraticness." Nevertheless, it is acknowledged that several other factors, eg, the age of a democracy & voter turnout, can also determine the amount of democraticness within a given democratic system. 10 Tables, 4 Figures, 1 Appendix.
