Forthcoming The Democratic Peace and Territorial Conflict in the Twentieth Century Paul K. Huth and Todd L. Allee It is commonly said that democracies very seldom fight each other. Huth and Allee re-evaluate this claim by testing three theoretical models using 348 territorial disputes from The results support the importance of democratic accountability and norms in shaping the diplomatic and military policies of democratic leaders. A very impressive accomplishment: an analytical and empirical milestone in the analysis of international conflict. The authors give us the basis for identifying who is likely to do what in the stage-by-stage unfolding of events from peace to war, and the conditions under which leaders may reverse direction and return to peace.

Rae demonstrates how these practices predate nationalism and how they prompted the development of international norms for legitimate state behaviour pp Hardback X Paperback Forthcoming The Emergence of Private Authority in Global Governance Edited by Rodney Bruce Hall and Thomas J.
