Recenzii
'Focusing on the dark side of the democratic peace, this book inquires into the ambivalences that have arisen when democracies fight non-democracies. Focusing on different types of war since the end of the Cold War, this theoretically self-conscious, well-designed, data-rich, methodologically sophisticated, tightly argued and morally nuanced book opens up a new avenue for research that both enriches and unsettles the conventional wisdom. Its conclusions pose important intellectual challenges that will influence international relations research and graduate instructions for years to come.' Peter J. Katzenstein, Walter S. Carpenter, Jr Professor of International Studies, Cornell University
'Liberal democracies may not fight one another but they go to war more frequently than other regime types. Contributors to this volume find that they do so more for humanitarian reasons than to bring about regime change or uphold regional and international order. They find a deep ambivalence about conflict and war in democracies. Exemplary case studies of multiple democracies inform these conclusions. Substantively and theoretically, this is the most impressive study to date of a critically important subject.' Richard Ned Lebow, King's College London

Descriere
Shifts the often naïve focus of democratic peace theory towards liberal-democratic militancy and highlights the role of national identities.
