1 Structure STM103 Class 4 Policy advocacy I. Context of the debate II. Does democratic governance bring a peace dividend? Theoretical arguments No: Why the initial transition to democracy generates belligerent nationalism and war Mansfield and Snyder III. Yes: Why power-sharing democracies reduce conflict in divided societies Norris Driving Democracy Ch 5 IV. Conclusions What are the best reasons for advocating democratic governance? 1 2 I. Recap debate Why both sides in the debate? Economic growth Yes Rodrik et al No Przeworski et al Effective advocacy means an awareness of the arguments of critics; not blind propaganda Genuine uncertainty exists in the research Impact of democratic governance Social welfare Yes Siegle et al No Ross literature; no consensus Different indicators, data, concepts, methods, and dependent variables Eg slippery notions of good governance (World Bank), democracy (International IDEA), liberal democracy (Freedom House), democratic governance (UNDP) Peace (this class) No Mansfield & Snyder Yes CSP/ Norris Need to judge for yourself why you would or would not favor democratic governance 4 Key debates Several distinct claims: True or false? Strongest universal claim: No democracies have ever fought a war against each other. Probabilistic claim: Does democratic governance generally reduce the risks of war between states? Conditional claim: Is the transitional process from autocracy to democracy one of increased risks of war? Conditional claim: Do power-sharing democracies reduce internal conflict? Democratic peace arguments 1. Informational arguments Democratic institutions facilitate signals, allowing democracies to resolve disputes with lower hostilities (eg Iranian intentions?) 2. Normative constraints Democracies have norms of tolerance and negotiation, which help resolve crisis. Autocracies have norms of coercion. 3. Preferences A state s foreign policy is shaped by domestic institutions; democracies share similar foreign policy preferences 4. Electoral constraints Public opinion limits elites 5 6 1
2 President Bush, 2 nd inaugural address Jan 2006 The United States Is Committed To The Advance Of Freedom And Democracy As The Great Alternatives To Repression And Radicalism. The most powerful weapon in the struggle against extremism is the universal appeal of freedom. Freedom is the best way to unleash the creativity and economic potential of a nation, the only ordering of a society that leads to justice, and the only way to achieve human rights. Expanding Freedom Is More Than A Moral Imperative - It Is The Only Realistic Way To Protect Our People. The 9/11 attacks were evidence of an international movement of violent Islamic extremists that threatens free people everywhere. Nations that commit to freedom for their people will not support extremists; they will join in defeating them. U.S. State Department Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Supporting democracy not only promotes such fundamental American values as religious freedom and worker rights, but also helps create a more secure, stable, and prosperous global arena in which the United States can advance its national interests. In addition, democracy is the one national interest that helps to secure all the others. Democratically governed nations are more likely to secure the peace, deter aggression, expand open markets, promote economic development, protect American citizens, combat international terrorism and crime, uphold human and worker rights, avoid humanitarian crises and refugee flows, improve the global environment, and protect human health. Problems of resolving evidence Definitions and measures of democracy and autocracy Continuous (Polity IV) Categories (Freedom House) Dichotomies (Cheibub and Gandhi) Definitions and measures of militarized conflict, internal (civil wars) and external (inter-state) PRIO/Uppsala conflict database COW Correlates of War CSP/MAR University of Maryland Underlying reasons behind correlations Case studies of process II: Evidence against 9 10 Mansfield-Snyder Edwards D. Mansfield and Jack Snyder Electing to Fight. MIT Press. Mansfield and Snyder Democratization and the danger of war, IS 1995 Well-institutionalised democracies virtually never fight wars against each other. In the transitional phase of democratization, countries become more aggressive and war prone Incentives for elites to exploit power, populist nationalist rhetoric, especially in elections, leading them eventually to jettison democracy. Ruling elites haphazardly accountable to electors Yugoslavia/Bosnia-Herzegovina, Russia/Georgia Evidence Mansfield-Snyder Democracy-autocracy Polity IV (Gurr) Open executive recruitment, executive constraints, competitive participation Correlates of War (COW) Military conflict with at least 1000 battle fatalities , one, five and ten year periods Conclusions: Democratizing states two-thirds more likely to go to war than states with no regime change. More war prone, not less Why? Democratization brings widening political spectrum, inflexible interests, competitive mobilization, weakening state
3 Pros and Cons of Mansfield and Snyder? Suggest other cases of transitional regimes going to war with democracies? Suggest contrary cases? Japan/Germany? Classification confuses electoral autocracies and electoral democracies? Data ends 1980; subsequent changes? Examples not included in dataset. What of civil wars/internal conflict?

Of these, 12 are protracted wars (10+ years). Afghanistan (30 years), Colombia (24), D.R.Congo (16), India (56), Iraq (28), Israel (43), Myanmar (60), Nigeria (11), Philippines (36), Somalia (20), Sri Lanka (25), Sudan (25), Turkey (24), and Uganda (37)
4 Trends in violent conflict Total magnitude of violent conflict and of ethnic conflict rose then fell during the 1990s Number and magnitude of armed conflict within and among states have lessened since the early 1990s by nearly half. Conflicts over self-determination are being settled with increasing frequency. Yet African exceptionalism: Little international effort Democratic transitions failed Pervasive poverty 9 February Center for Systemic Peace/MAR Global Conflict Trends Trends in terrorism Terrorism is defined by the nature of the act, not by the identity of the perpetrators or the nature of the cause. Terrorism is violence, or the threat of violence, calculated to create an atmosphere of fear and alarm. These acts are designed to coerce others into actions they would not otherwise undertake, e, or refrain from actions they desired ed to take. International Terrorism: "Incidents in which terrorists go abroad to strike their targets, select domestic targets associated with a foreign state, or create an international incident by attacking airline passengers, personnel or equipment."

Conclusions What are the best reasons for advocating democratic governance? Instrumental Consequences of democracy for Intrinsic Value for itself Potential criticisms Constructivist theories Posner: Social identities shaped by political institutions, not fixed Incentive theory among elites Horowitz: Incentives for community cooperation or for rivalry? Trade-off values in failed states Snyder: Stable, strong and effective states needed in post-conflict societies more than power-sharing arrangements Direction of causality? Institutional endogeneity and path dependency? Eg Cheibub: Military regimes are more likely to select presidential executives 33 Next class 35 6
