In Search of Democratic Peace: Problems and Promise

.
Mershon International Studies Review, 41 (1): 59--91 (May 1997)

Abstract

This essay reviews the growing literature on the democratic peace. It assesses the evidence on whether democracies are more peaceful and, if so, in what ways. This assessment considers the match and mismatch among the data, methods, and theories generally used in exploring these questions. The review also examines the empirical support for several explanations of the democratic peace phenomenon. It concludes with some observations and suggestions for future research.
