Topic: Democratic peace theory

What is democratic peace theory? why is it important?


It says that demcratic countries usually don’t go to war against each other. The majority of the people just want to live in peace, the only ones that profit from war are the small, wealthy elite. In a true democracy, this elite would either not exist, or have no more power than the rest of the people (although the latter is kind of utopian), and thus, the country would never go to war, unless it was attacked.

Political Example of Liberalism in International Relations?

yea so the liberalist theory of international relations…im having trouble figuring out a political example that proves it. Im thinking about the democratic peace but idk how to justify it. any help would be awesome!

The creation of the UN, Kyoto protocol, and geneva convention are a few examples that IR liberalism can claim, not sure about an item that "proves it" since it is still mainly a ideological representation of IR relations.

What does the Democratic Peace Theory have to do with current events in the Middle East?

As I’m sure you know the Democratic Peace Theory is the theory that democracies rarely ever go to war with each other. The recent uprisings in the Middle East have notionally been about freeing these countries from decades-old (effective) dictatorships and moving them towards becoming democracies that serve the will of the people.

If this holds true and they are successful, there’s a reasonable chance that there can finally be peace in one of the most troubled regions in the world.

Is democratic peace theory flawed?

do democracies go to war?

does prevalence of weapons deter conflict? (like knowing there is a second strike capability)
democratic peace theory says democracies dont go to war with EACH OTHER. i know democracies go to war

"do democracies go to war? "

Yes, democratic countries can and do go to war.

"does prevalence of weapons deter conflict? "

Certain types of prevalent weapons prevent certain types of conflicts. Having enough nukes deployed to annihilate your enemy makes it less likely that he will nuke you. Nukes offer no protection from some other types of conflict. Terrorists, for instance have very little to fear from it. Politically, you would have a very hard time arguing for nuking another country for a cyberattack, or even a limited conventional attack.

With the invention of the internet, institutions such as cubs and guides and David Cameron talking up his ‘big?

society’ we were the first institution to point out to the coalition ‘democratic’ government that if it wanted to change the culture of Britian to prevent it from decending into civil war then the cuts it ‘reluctantly’ embraced were going to have to happen intelligently.

Step 1

Affirm that the British culture is moderate and multicultural, public sector cuts should not have been planned without the fears of the workforce being somewhat addressed by, for example, not cutting benefits as peace and freedom should be part of the social security package, be a decent citizen (learn some local history and road names), don’t resort to crime and, due to automation, workers enjoy lower insurance premiums and can be free. Not a bad deal but as democracy only represents a training issue on those who voted for the right wing…

Step 2

Once it’s been established we live in a multicultural tourist town (see above) issue a code book on how to bring up and/or educate children to the degree that they ‘do as they are told’ by business (you can leave the best practice and rewards structure for compliant with human rights businesses to us, we do exist for a reason don’t you know) at whichever level they enter the workplace and put in place theory and practical exams for the retired, capable disabled (decided using common sense), law abiding and risk assessed ‘volunteers’. For too long professionals within the public sector have been put under pressure to prove that the right wing does not cause attrocity and are unfairly targetted for the ills of the worl while the fanatical social worker (‘I LOVE children; and money’) fail to spot lies pre prepared by abusers, these people are mostly female for heavens sake.

Step 3
Close the secondary schools and flog off the land.

Anyway to our question, semantics aside, how much money do you think that will save:

a) Year one

b) Year five

c) Year one hundred
