Abstract
This article explores the political (civic participation), social (social capital), education (literacy) and economic factors (infrastructure and investment) considered have allowed the consolidation of democracy in Tunisia and a partial consolidation of the same in Egypt. To support these arguments we have used some index like the Democratic Index, Doing Business and Global Competitiveness, giving reinforcement to the ideas and factors aforementioned. The arguments that democratic consolidation in Tunisia, and the partial consolidation of Egypt, are a result of social capital, literacy, infrastructure or public participation are based mainly on similar processes initiated in different latitudes, demonstrating the validity of them.
