  • Democratic Peace and Integration
    INTRODUCTION One of the four main themes of the Second Workshop on the Workshop is "development," with the present panel concerned with "Aid, Development, and the Global Context." A second theme, which will be linked to development in this paper, looks at "Democratic Transformations." I will attempt to connect these two themes by presenting an essay which links the democratic peace to the now- classic theories of international integration developed by Karl Deutsch and Ernst Haas.1 Through the phenomenon of integration I hope to highlight the importance of the development of community and responsiveness in the democratic peace, and outline the commonalities of this process to the domestic processes which lead to the development of legitimacy. As indicated in McGinnis and Ostrom (1999), a longstanding perspective of the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis can be captured in the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework. By placing decision makers and decision situations within broader environmental or contextual settings, the IAD may be viewed as one type of agent-structure framework where decisions, choice and choice processes take place within different contexts of possibility, contraints, and opportunity. And, as with all such agent-structure formulations (including the opportunity and willingness framework which I have used extensively in my own analyses; e.g. see Starr 1978, Most and Starr 1989, Starr 1997a), the IAD must cross several levels of analysis and deal with several arenas of action simultaneously. The present paper similarly picks up this multi• level and multi-arena theme— by looking at the nature of integration for interdependent units within the international system, at the democratic peace which exists at the dyadic and regional levels, and finally at democracy and legitimacy within single units.

  • The Third Leg of the Kantian Tripod for Peace: International Organizations and Militarized Disputes, 1950–85 Bruce Russett, John R
    The Third Leg of the Kantian Tripod for Peace: International Organizations and Militarized Disputes, 1950–85 Bruce Russett, John R. Oneal, and David R. Davis Immanuel Kant’s vision of ‘‘perpetual peace,’’ expressed more than two centuries ago, was built on a tripod of complementary influences: (1) ‘‘republican constitu- tions’’ (in modern parlance, representative democracy) would constrain autocratic caprice in waging war; (2) a ‘‘commercial spirit’’ of trade and economic interdepen- dence would reinforce structural constraints and liberal norms by creating transna- tional ties that encourage accommodation rather than conflict; and (3) international law (and, in the contemporary era, international organizations), building on an under- standing of the legitimate rights of all citizens and of all republics, would provide the moral and legal edifice for the peaceful resolution of conflicts. In Kant’s view, it is not simply that each of the three legs of the tripod is useful; each is essential to maintaining the structure of stable peace.1 These same elements underlie the structure of practical vision and action erected by the statesmen of Europe following World War II—the third devastating European war in seventy years. Konrad Adenauer, Alcide de Gasperi, Jean Monnet, Robert Schuman, and others were instrumental in creating the peace Europe has enjoyed over the last fifty years. First, they acted to restore and stabilize democratic govern- ments in their countries. Then they created a network of economic interdependence that would make future war among those countries economically irrational. And they moved to embed this in the myriad institutional structures that have emerged, in widened and deepened form, in the European Union (EU).

Analyzing dyadic interactions during the years 1951–1992, we esti- mate a model to take into account selection effects and check it against another allowing conjunc- tive causation. Both provide close approximations to theoretical models of the conflict process and yield similar results. We confirm Kant’s belief that all states are subject to the realist conditions of interstate competition that makes disputes likely, but that liberal influences, if present, can con- strain the escalation of such disputes to war. Several influences on the conflict process have non- monotonic effects over the range of state behavior.

  • Institutional Variance of the Democratic Peace, 1816-2002
    INSTITUTIONAL VARIANCE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PEACE, 1816-2002: ELECTORAL, EXECUTIVE, AND FEDERAL SYSTEMS IN TIME AND SPACE by Anita Schjolset A Dissertation Presented to the FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA In partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS) August 2008 Copyright 2008 Anita Schjolset Dedication In Memory of Hayward R. Alker, 1937-2007, who taught me that stories can be written in many languages, that realities have many truths, pointed at issues never raised and to connections never drawn. ii Acknowledgements This dissertation is about the role of governmental institutions in the making of politics between states. It is an effort to show that the effects of spreading democratic institutions to promote peace are more complex than commonly perceived by politicians and academics today. It is motivated by the hope for a more peaceful world, a peace built on tolerance and the acknowledgement that demo- cratic governance must be vested in local cultures and histories. Democracy and democratization may be many-faceted tools for achieving peace. My aim in this dissertation is to start unwrapping some of these relationships. The starting point of this dissertation is the Democratic Peace theory, which provides the most referred to and relied upon ideas of the role regimes play for peace. I argue that this status of the Democratic Peace theory is premature. Despite having uncovered an apparent empirical pattern, the research program1 has by no means provided qualified theoretical explanations. Theory offers clear and comprehensive descriptions of the relations between phenomena. Given the world’s complexity, a theory can only explain parts of an observation, leaving other parts out.

  • Public Opinion and the Democratic Peace MICHAEL R
    American Political Science Review Vol. 107, No. 4 November 2013 doi:10.1017/S0003055413000488 c American Political Science Association 2013 Public Opinion and the Democratic Peace MICHAEL R. TOMZ Stanford University JESSICA L. P. WEEKS University of Wisconsin–Madison ne of the most striking findings in political science is the democratic peace: the absence of war between democracies. Some authors attempt to explain this phenomenon by highlighting the role O of public opinion. They observe that democratic leaders are beholden to voters and argue that voters oppose war because of its human and financial costs. This logic predicts that democracies should behave peacefully in general, but history shows that democracies avoid war primarily in their relations with other democracies. In this article we investigate not whether democratic publics are averse to war in general, but whether they are especially reluctant to fight other democracies. We embedded experiments in public opinion polls in the United States and the United Kingdom and found that individuals are substantially less supportive of military strikes against democracies than against otherwise identical autocracies. Moreover, our experiments suggest that shared democracy pacifies the public primarily by changing perceptions of threat and morality, not by raising expectations of costs or failure. These findings shed light on a debate of enduring importance to scholars and policy makers. ew findings in political science have received as gated whether democratic publics are more reluctant much attention as the “democratic peace,” the to attack democracies than autocracies.1 Moreover, the Fdiscovery that democracies almost never fight small body of existing work has not accounted for other democracies (Doyle 1986; Russett 1993).
