Perhaps the only condition that is required is to accomplish one or a few of the necessary revolutionary steps. Democracy has little to do with political borders or with the existence of the state. Democratic systems do not deal with these issues. National borders are a datum, a given. They are a framework within which policies are made and implemented.
Coercion does harm democracy.
Democratic politics does not relate to the existence of the state or its indivisibility. The recognition of the rights and freedoms for those individuals and groups that lack them, and the incorporation of these actors into the system are also one of the essential political and moral requirements of democracy. As long as there are oppressed and powerless individuals and strata who lack basic freedom and rights, that democracy has major shortcomings. If conflicts and tensions are not solved peacefully, rebellions, civil wars, insurgencies and other revolutionary conflicts would break out and cause bloodshed, ushering in perhaps a new democratization process. Democratic development in societies dominated by dogmatism, authoritarian principles and institutions, requires above all, a struggle with these hurdles.
