Do Democracies Bring World Peace? Evaluation of a Research Agenda includes six chapters that question the concept of “democratic peace” and its misconceptions, while also highlighting the research that is put forth into democracy and “democratic peace” propositions. It is further discussed that “democratic peace” researchers have practiced the worst abuse of behavioralist political science, and sought explanations for peace among a narrow sample of supposed “democracies” rather than seeking the causes of war itself. In the creation of this publication, the author has tracked down every possible “democratic peace” study, leaving the succession of the pursued detail within this publication for other scholars to judge.
