Not really. While the two concepts are often tied together it would certainly be possible to have a democracy without having a balance of power. Democracy is based on the idea that the citizenry has the right to vote on the laws or government policies either directly (by voting on such policies in referendums) or indirectly (by voting for representatives who vote on such policies). Balances of power within a government usually relate to federal/provincial relations. In smaller countries, there is no such dichotomy, since there is only one state with different administrative regions that have very little local power, such as the Republic of Korea.
