Answer 4

is that how you are doing?

Answer 5

I have to describe democratic peace and then take 3 countries and explain why each one is either democratic or totalitarian or authoritarian and then i have to test this theory by looking at the international relations of each country and i am having trouble with testing the theory to each country and also what important points should i make in my paper in describing democratic peace because my paper has to be 10 pages. I want to know what specifficlaly is key to look at when describing democratic peace?

Answer 6

I think I'd start with defining democratic peace. It's not a subject I study, but one of the criteria might be that the country can't currently be involved in a war. Your own study of the subject (or someone else's superior knowledge!) could provide the other criteria... then dedicate a section (starting by just writing a paragraph) to each one of the countries and evaluating if they meet your criteria or not. Give examples, and some discussion.

I think the key to start would be coming up with a nice definition of democratic peace.

Answer 7

The democratic peace theory is a relatively new development. The "democratic peace" is the theory that democracies don't go to war with each other.
