Beschreibung:
"This is a very significant contribution to one of the most important current debates among both scholars and policy makers: the impact of democracy on war. Some authors have speculated about the impact of elections on 'democratic peace, ' but no one has come close to the breadth and depth of the analysis in this book."--Ole Holsti, Duke University"Alexis de Tocqueville decried the inability of democracies to conduct efficient foreign policy, while contemporary academics and politicians praise democracies for their pacific behavior. In Elections and War, Gaubatz shows why both are right. This important book confirms that electoral pressures constrain democratic leaders' ability to make war, but they also provide incentives to ignore belligerent publics."--Political Science Quarterly
