The Democratic Peace and Territorial Conflict in the Twentieth Century

by Paul K. Huth, Todd L. Allee, Todd L Allee

Book Overview

It is commonly said that democracies very seldom fight each other. This book asks whether the assumption of a democratic peace is valid and seeks to explain why. Explanations explored include the accountability of democratic leaders to domestic institutions; the norms of democratic competition which influence international affairs; and the common interests which democracies have pursued.
