商品簡介
In recent years, a new wave of scholarship has argued that democracies have uniqueadvantages that enable them to compete vigorously in international politics. Challenging long-heldbeliefs--some of which go back to Thucydides' account of the clash between democratic Athens andauthoritarian Sparta--that democracy is a liability in the harsh world of international affairs,many scholars now claim that democracies win most of their wars. [This research suggests thatdemocracies emerge victorious because they prudently choose to fight wars that they can win, andbecause they can marshal more resources, make better decisions, and muster public support for theirmilitary campaigns.] Critics counter that democracy itself makes little difference in war and thatother factors, such as overall power, determine whether a country tastes victory or defeat. In somecases, such as the Vietnam War, democracy may even have contributed to defeat.The book includescrucial contributions to the debate over democracy and military victory, presenting importanttheoretical, conceptual, and empirical arguments.
