Title: From education to democracy?
Description: "The conventional wisdom views high levels of education as a prerequisite for democracy.  This paper shows that existing evidence for this view is based on cross-sectional correlations, which disappear once we look at within-country variation.  In other words, there is no evidence that countries that increase their education are more likely to become democratic"--National Bureau of Economic Research web site.
