          Translated abstract

          The idea that democracy fosters peaceful relationships among the nations is as old as at least the Kantian concept of perpetual peace, but in the twentieth century several new theories have been coined out in order to explain the behavior of democratic states towards other democracies and towards non-democratic states. These theories have been based on two interpretative models: structural/institutional and cultural/normative. This paper examines various versions of the democratic peace concept and places a particular attention at the explanatory power of the interpretative models and the role attached to the liberal values.

          Normative and Structural Causes of Democratic Peace, 1946–1986.

          Democratic states are in general about as conflict- and war-prone as nondemocracies, but democracies have rarely clashed with one another in violent conflict. We first show that democracy, as well as other factors, accounts for the relative lack of conflict. Then we examine two explanatory models. The normative model suggests that democracies do not fight each other because norms of compromise and cooperation prevent their conflicts of interest from escalating into violent clashes. The structural model asserts that complex political mobilization processes impose institutional constraints on the leaders of two democracies confronting each other to make violent conflict unfeasible. Using different data sets of international conflict and a multiplicity of indicators, we find that (1) democracy, in and of itself, has a consistent and robust negative effect on the likelihood of conflict or escalation in a dyad; (2) both the normative and structural models are supported by the data; and (3) support for the normative model is more robust and consistent.
