Democratic Peace: Many Data, Little Explanation?

Abstract

In this chapter, we propose a theoretical explanation for three empirical phenomena: (a) that democracies do not fight each other but make war against other parties, (b) that democracies on average might be slightly, but not strongly, less war-prone than other states, (c) that there is a vast variance among democracies as regards their involvement in wars and militarized disputes. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
