There is a possibility that if a country is doing good in all aspects of development (socio-cultural, economic, political, ethnic etc.), the presence of civil society, and the tendency of rulers governing democratically, without infringing on constitution and violating the rights of the minorities, will be felt vividly. This is what you've called 'coordination', if I?m not mistaken. But the debate on democracy and development is still pending, so I don't want to base my argument on that.
