History and selective transformations of world politics. 330 $aEver since the revival of Kant's Perpetual Peace thesis, the linkages between democracy and peace has been a central topic in international relations research, with sustained debate over whether it exists and if it does, why it does. In this stimulating volume, two leading IR scholars place the democratic peace debate within a broader context, including the extent of threats in international relations, degree of satisfaction with the status quo, the diffusion of democracy, and the rise of the trading state. Step by step, Thompson and Rasler examine the democratic peace through a series of puzzles concerning arguments at the dyadic, systemic, and individual state levels. Synthesizing a broad range of knowledge and linking islands of theory, Puzzles of the Democratic Peace provides a distinctive look at the state of the field and paths forward. 410 0$aEvolutionary Processes in World Politics,$x2945-7661 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aPeace 606 $aInternational Relations 606 $aPeace and Conflict Studies 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aPeace. 615 14$aInternational Relations. 615 24$aPeace and Conflict Studies. 676 $a327.1/72 700 $aRasler$b Karen A.$f1952-$01666811 701 $aThompson$b William R$0141765 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959904203321 996 $aPuzzles of the Democratic Peace$94329268 997 $aUNINA
