Thesis (Ph.D.)--The George Washington University, 1999.

The long and remarkably stable peace between democratic states in the international system since the end of the Second World War has led an increasing number of analysts to assert that "democracies don't go to war with one other." They claim that democracies invariably maintain peace with each other because of common institutional restraints and norms of peaceful conflict resolution.

520 $a The long and remarkably stable peace between democratic states in the international system since the end of the Second World War has led an increasing number of analysts to assert that "democracies don't go to war with one other." They claim that democracies invariably maintain peace with each other because of common institutional restraints and norms of peaceful conflict resolution.
520 $a However, democratic peace theory suffers from a number of inadequacies. Historical case studies of relations between democracies indicate that domestic-level factors have played only a small role at best in preventing war between democracies.
520 $a A more plausible explanation of the contemporary peace between democracies may be found in a theory which switches causal direction, and posits peace as an important precondition for the development of democracy. In this view, frequent war and threats of war contribute to authoritarianism in states, while long periods of peace permit the decentralization of political power necessary for liberal-democracy.
520 $a Causes of peace in the modern international system include: the gradual demarcation and solidification of borders through agreement and tradition; geographic barriers between states; hegemonic authority buttressed by legitimacy (the "Pax Americana"); wealth and economic growth; and nuclear weapons. These factors have led to a decline in the frequency of war in the past centuries and an increase in the periods of peace. Moreover, democracy was able to make its greatest advances during periods of stable international peace---such as during the nineteenth century and after World War Two.
520 $a In-depth case studies are used to test the peace-causes-democracy model. The first case study compares the American Revolution and the French Revolution, examining how differences in the amount of inter-state war affected the success of each revolution in constructing a stable liberal-democracy. The second case study examines how changes in the nature of inter-state relations in Europe affected the prospects of democracy in Germany. The final case study tests the limits of the peace-causes-democracy model by examining a democracy which developed in a particularly war-prone environment: modern Israel.
