More about the book
Focusing on the relationship between democracy and peace, the author argues that peace is constructed through democratic ideas and institutions. He examines ten historical cases from US diplomatic history, starting with the Jay Treaty in 1794 and concluding with the Spanish-American War in 1898, to test his theory. The author also contends that a world comprised solely of liberal democracies may not guarantee peace, as the absence of illiberal states could hinder recognition among liberal states, reducing their motivation to maintain peaceful relations.
