The quest for peace. 330 $aAddressing decision-making over interstate disputes and the democratic peace thesis, Choi and James build an interactive foreign policy decision-making model with a special emphasis on civil-military relations, conscription, diplomatic channels and media openness. Each is significant in explaining decisions over dispute involvement. The temporal scope is broad while the geographic scope is global. The result is sophisticated analysis of the causes of conflict and factors that can ameliorate it, and a generalizable approach to the study of foreign relations. The findings that media openness contributes to peaceful resolution of disputes, that the greater the influence of the military the more likely for their to be interstate disputes, that conscription is likely to have the same effect, and that increases in diplomatic interaction correlate with increased conflict are sure to generate debate. 410 0$aAdvances in foreign policy analysis. 606 $aPeacekeeping forces 606 $aConflict management 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aDemocracy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPeacekeeping forces. 615 0$aConflict management. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aDemocracy. 676 $a322/.5 700 $aChoi$b Seung-Whan$0876237 701 $aJames$b Patrick$f1957-$0890323 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451061403321 996 $aCivil-military dynamics, democracy, and international conflict$92139947 997 $aUNINA
