Abstract

The article explores the concept of democratic peace theory, which suggests that democracies are less likely to go to war with each other. It discusses the historical influence of this theory on U.S. foreign policy and the role of influential figures in promoting democracy as a means to peace. The article also acknowledges that conflicts can still arise between liberal states and authoritarian ones, and that democratic peace theory has its critics. It concludes by discussing the current global political landscape and the potential for a new cold war between democracies and autocracies. [Extracted from the article]
