This volume offers a fresh perspective by arguing that the same norms that are responsible for the democratic peace can be argued to be responsible for democratic war-proneness. The authors show that democratic norms, which are usually understood to cause peaceful behaviour, are heavily contested when dealing with a non-democratic other. The book thus integrates democratic peace and democratic war into one consistent theoretical perspective, emphasising the impact of national identity. The book concludes by arguing that all democracies have a 'weak spot' where they would be willing to engage militarily. 606 $aMilitary policy 606 $aIntervention (International law) 606 $aDemocracy 606 $aFree enterprise 606 $aLiberalism 606 $aLiberty 615 0$aMilitary policy. 615 0$aIntervention (International law) 615 0$aDemocracy. 615 0$aFree enterprise. 615 0$aLiberalism. 615 0$aLiberty. 676 $a355/.0335 702 $aGeis$b Anna 702 $aMu?ller$b Harald$f1949 May 13- 702 $aScho?rnig$b Niklas 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823636403321 996 $aThe militant face of democracy$94029847 997 $aUNINA
