History and selective transformations of world politics.Ever since the revival of Kant's Perpetual Peace thesis, the linkages between democracy and peace has been a central topic in international relations research, with sustained debate over whether it exists and if it does, why it does. In this stimulating volume, two leading IR scholars place the democratic peace debate within a broader context, including the extent of threats in international relations, degree of satisfaction with the status quo, the diffusion of democracy, and the rise of the trading state. Step by step, Thompson and Rasler examine the democratic peace through a series of puzzles concerning arguments at the dyadic, systemic, and individual state levels. Synthesizing a broad range of knowledge and linking islands of theory, Puzzles of the Democratic Peace provides a distinctive look at the state of the field and paths forward.Evolutionary Processes in World Politics,2945-7661International relationsPeaceInternational RelationsPeace and Conflict StudiesInternational relations.Peace.International Relations.Peace and Conflict Studies.327.1/72Rasler Karen A.1952-1666811Thompson William R141765MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910959904203321Puzzles of the Democratic Peace4329268UNINA
