Review

"The Democratic Peace and Territorial Conflict in the Twentieth Century is in the vanguard of efforts to build better theories of international peace by breaking down existing accounts and parsing out their implications. The study's findings are bound to shape thinking about the democratic peace and, thus, to contribute to the next generation of theoretical research linking liberal politics to peace." Erik Gartzke, Columbia University, Political Science Quarterly

"...provides substantial evidence in the form of innovative analyses of new data regarding numerous controversies in research on international conflict, and points in the direction of several promising avenues for future research." The International History Review

"...a very impressive accomplishment: an analytical and empirical milestone in the analysis of international conflict. The authors give us the basis for identifying who is likely to do what in the stage-by-stage unfolding of events from peace to war, and the conditions under which leaders may reverse direction and return to peace." Professor Bruce Russett, Yale University

Book Description

It is commonly said that democracies very seldom fight each other. This book asks whether the assumption of a 'democratic peace' holds, and seeks to explain why it might be the case. Explanations explored include the fact that democratic leaders are accountable to domestic institutions; the norms of democratic competition which influence international affairs; and the common interests which democracies have pursued. Paul Huth brings together an enormous array of evidence from the twentieth century to explore these issues.
