Bush Doctrine: U.S. foreign policy post 9/11 |
|

|
Few other presidents have tied their foreign policies more explicitly to the work of social science than has George W. Bush. The Democratic Peace Theory, which originated in the work of the eighteenth-century philosopher Immanuel Kant, has, since the 1990s, been one of the most discussed research areas in international relations. The theory posits that democracies do not go to war with other democracies. This theory is not without merit when one analyses the correlation between democracies vis-à-vis the propensity to wage war with one another, though much of this can be attributed to interdependence and international trade as well as to democratic institutions. Is democracy the simple answer for a peaceful global order and is it the right solution for every region? |
