  • Shimko, Ch. 4, Notes by Denis Bašić
    War & Democracy Shimko, ch. 4, notes by Denis Bašić Are Democracies More Peaceful? • The idea that democracies are more peaceful than non- democracies has been part of liberal international thought for more than two hundred years, and it is one of those ideas that has seeped from the realm of theory to real- world policy. • Though proponents of democratic peace theory offer a variety of reasons why democracies might be less willing and able to wage war, all versions of the theory share the basic prediction that democracies will not wage war against one another. If the theory is correct, a more democratic world will also be a more peaceful world. • The commonly cited evidence in support of the theory is the absence of any wars between clearly democratic states. What do Skeptics Say? • Skeptics question this evidence, pointing to what they see as convenient and shifting definitions that omit troublesome cases. Some even claim that there have been wars between democratic states (think of WWI.) • Realists in particular are generally unconvinced by the theory and its supporting evidence. Even if we have not yet seen a war between democratic states, realists think our luck is likely to run out. In time, democracies will be subject to the same insecurities and conflicts that have driven nondemocratic states to war. • The coming decades are likely to put the theory to a real- world test as the number of democracies in the world continues to grow. Immanuel Kant, German Philosopher (1724-1804) • Living in an era of absolutist monarchism, Kant argued in his classic work, Perpetual Peace, that the emergence and spread of “republican” (or liberal democratic) political institutions would be accompanied by the emergence of a zone of peace.

Statements from the Chair (i) ‘Members of the House, before we proceed with our normal business of the day, I have four statements to be made to this august House. As Members might be aware that the Parliament of Nauru has been provided with two Toyota Prado diesel four-wheel vehicles as a grant by the Government of India. These vehicles will serve the long term use of the Parliament in smoothening its work and facilitating the Members in their official duties. This project was taken by me with the then Minister for External Affairs who is also the Prime Minister of India and I am happy that they have acceded to my request. I have also regulated the use of the vehicle within the Parliament Secretariat in order to achieve the highest levels of efficiency and diligence. I would also like to state in no uncertain terms that this assistance would not have come without the endeavours of our Department of Foreign Affairs who had over the years strengthened the bilateral ties with India and the Minister, Hon. David Adeang, who talked to the Deputy Minister of External Affairs, Government of India, Hon.

  • Taiwan Strait Update: Crisis Deferred
    TAIWAN STRAIT UPDATE: CRISIS DEFERRED Denny Roy Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies February 2006 The Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies (APCSS) is a regional study, conference and research center under the United States Department of Defense. The views in this paper are personal opinions of the author, and are not official positions of the U.S. government, the U.S. Pacific Command, or the APCSS. All APCSS publications are posted on the APCSS web site at www.apcss.org. Overview • The Chen Shui-bian government’s moves toward dismantling Taiwan’s (largely symbolic) political inks with China have been the main cause of increased cross- Strait tensions. The momentum of these moves has diminished in recent months. • A strong and generally anti-independence opposition in Taiwan and the willingness of these politicians to coordinate some activities with Beijing, highlighted by the visits of two prominent opposition leaders to China in April and May, helps give the Chinese confidence that a use of force against Taiwan will not be necessary. • Absent an effort by Taipei to push for independence, Beijing senses that the chances of a resolution of the Taiwan question in terms favorable to China increase with time because of the relative growth of China’s economic, political and military strength. • Based on visible trends, the chances of a military conflict over Taiwan in the near future now seem low. • Taiwan nevertheless remains a difficult and ongoing challenge in U.S.-China relations, prone to either sparking a downturn in bilateral relations or becoming more dangerous as a reflection of an overall deterioration in Sino-U.S.
