Abstract: Instead of looking at the relationship between globalization and democratization from a social and institutional perspective, this article focuses on the moderating role of state capacities, which are divided into two sub-categories: state coercive capacity and state administrative capacity. Using panel data from 129 countries for 1974–2018, we arrive at two conclusions. First, globalization is positively correlated with democratization, but this relationship weakens with stronger state administrative capacity. Second, while state coercive capacity has an inverse relationship with democratization, state administrative capacity is positively associated with democratization, and this positive effect wanes with greater degrees of globalization.
