After the Cold War: Questioning the Morality of Nuclear Deterrence
Global Terrorism and Military Preemption: Policy Problems and Normative Perils
Preventive War and Permissive Normative Order
Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, U.S. president George W. Bush articulated a new national security strategy based on striking terrorist organizations and the states that harbor them before they could endanger the United States. Though expressed in the language of preemption, the Bush strategy embodied a far more problematic doctrine of preventive warfare. Whereas the grounds for preemption lie in evidence of a credible, immi…
Democracies and Intervention: Is there a Danger Zone in the Democratic Peace
By overlooking the full range of studies of democracy and intervention that we have undertaken, Tures misrepresents our intentions and our evidence. To clarify the definable patterns within democracies' use of interventions, we broaden his picture of our results to demonstrate where his critique of our general findings is misleading. By focusing exclusively on the methodological implications of only one part of our program of research, Tures fail…
The U.S. use of military intervention to promote democracy: Evaluating the record
Given the foreign policy priority that the Clinton administration has placed on the “enlargement” of the democratic community, a relevant question is whether military intervention is an effective instrument for achieving such a purpose. This research explores the impact of American interventions since 1945 on the political systems of the targets. What happens when U.S. presidents pursue “pro‐liberalization policies” through military interventions…
Placing global ecopolitics in peace studies
What precipitates or preconditions peace? Ever since ancient philosophers first began contemplating the sources of peace, our awareness of its roots, causes, and correlates has steadily expanded. With this knowledge, we've also learned how complex, circumstantial and fragile the pursuit of international peace tends to be. Remarkably, among the many determinants of peace already examined, environmental factors have only recently been considered. U…
A Peace Dividend? Democracies' Military Interventions and Their External Political Consequences
Numerous empirical investigations have found that democracies do not wage war against one another. This finding has inspired hope that the rapid worldwide dispersion of democracy since the mid-1970s will produce an era of pacific relations and has encouraged the active promotion of democratization. This paper inspects democracies' use of overt military intervention between 1974 and 1988 and shows that democratic states targeted military activity …
Putting Military Intervention into the Democratic Peace: A Research Note
Although many empirical investigations have demonstrated that democracies almost never wage war against one another, there remains some doubt whether this empirical law applies to other kinds of armed conflict. The present research note combines two streams of evidence that speak to this question. Looking cross-nationally at the incidence of overt military intervention between 1974 and 1991, an inventory of 225 discrete cases is produced with the…
International Peacemaking and Peacekeeping: The Morality of Multilateral Measures
The failure of the United Nations and other regional organizations to effectively “keep the peace” is more often than not attributable to a lack of commitment to true collective security on the part of the international community than to flaws in the organizations themselves. Kegley argues that the former dominance of political realism is finally being challenged and offers prescriptions for effective multilateral peacekeeping activities. The gre…
A Global Political Party: The Next Step
The revolutionary changes that have swept globe since 1989 have given world cause for celebration. The end of a nuclear deterrent-based standoff between history's two most frightening military establishments has brought well-earned relief to world's citizenry. It has enabled a focus of attention on plethora of long-neglected, nonmilitary threats to global security. Such problems as global warming, refugee crisis, ecological dangers, a just distri…
Ballots, a Barrier against the Use of Bullets and Bombs: Democratization and Military Intervention
Numerous empirical investigations have demonstrated that democracies are prone to cooperate with one another and that they almost never wage war against one another. Such research has inspired hope that so-called democratic peace might be achieved in the post-cold-war era, especially in light of the rapid diffusion of democracy worldwide since the mid-1970s. This article collates two streams of previously unexamined evidence that speak to the pro…
How Democracies Use Intervention: A Neglected Dimension in Studies of the Democratic Peace
Confidence has grown in the finding that democracies do not wage war against one another. Two decades of empirical investigation that support this proposition, in conjunction with the recent expansion of the democratic community, have understandably inspired hope in the `democratic peace' envisioned by Immanuel Kant and Woodrow Wilson. This article collates three streams of previously unexamined evidence that speak to the promise of this hope. Lo…
Controversies in International Relations Theory: Realism and the Neoliberal Challenge
This new reader in international theory brings together nine new essays and four classics, two of them heavily revised for republication here, to provide a clear introduction to the two dominent traditions in contemporary international relations: realism and neoliberalism. As well as setting out the current state of each approach and mapping out the possibilities of creative synthesis, the book focuses on emerging neorealist and neoliberal perspe…
Military intervention and the democratic peace
The finding generated by numerous empirical investigations that democracies do not wage war against one another has inspired hope that the democratic “pacific union” envisioned by Immanuel Kant and Woodrow Wilson might be created in the late 1990s as democracy spreads worldwide. This paper examines democracies' use of overt military intervention, exploring if the democratic peace applies to small‐scale as well as large‐scale war. The research unc…
The Political Psychology of `Peace through Democratization
Many scholars and policy-makers have pinned their hopes on the expectation that in the post-Cold War world peace will be preserved if the diffusion of democracy continues. This hope is grounded on the demonstrable evidence that historically democracies have rarely, if ever, waged large-scale war to resolve their disputes with one another. Yet explanations as to why this propensity is exhibited have been unsatisfactory, and debate about the causes…
Rethinking Democracy and International Peace: Perspectives from Political Psychology
The intent of this article is to expand our understanding of the "zone of peace" that appears to surround democracies by proposing several explanations derived from psychological theories. These explanations, in contrast to those considered conventionally, explicitly incorporate leaders, leaders' perceptions, and their leadership styles. The first builds on social identity theory and focuses on leaders' images and beliefs about the enemy. The sec…

Is access influence? Measuring adviser‐presidential interactions in light of the Iranian hostage crisis
Access is not a well‐defined, empirical concept in scholarly treatments of relations between presidents and their closest advisers. This is unfortunate, because the advisory process is central to the exercise of influence over decision making. Presidential access provides a means of controlling the flow of information to the chief executive, thereby enhancing an adviser's ability to define problems, identify options, and persuade the president to…

The New Global Order: The Power of Principle in a Pluralistic World
Kegley asks whether in a culturally pluralistic global community it is possible to find a common normative principle that statesmen from diverse ethical traditions might embrace to discipline democratic behavior. He sets the stage for a discussion of ethical precepts that transcend artificial boundaries between East and West, North and South
Must We Fear a Post-Cold War Multipolar System
The probable transition from a bipolar to a multipolar international system has inspired divergent predictions about the likely consequences for global stability. This article places two recent exemplary deductive models under examination, in order to evaluate the validity of their conclusions about the alleged stability of the cold war's bipolar competitive world relative to that of multipolar systems. A review of the empirical evidence generate…
U.S. Foreign Aid and U.N. Voting: Did Reagan's Linkage Strategy Buy Deference or Defiance
The Reagan administration's 1986 policy initiative linking the allocation of U.S. foreign aid to recipient voting behavior in the U.N. General Assembly is evaluated. Aid levels and voting patterns are examined prior to and after the implementation of the declared bargaining policy. To maximize validity, the data are subjected to a variety of statistical treatments, including construction of a cross-lagged path model. None of the results emerging …
The New Containment Myth: Realism and the Anomaly of European Integration
Kegley, skeptical of the Western perception that Soviet surrender was proof of American superiority in the arms race and the reliance on NATO to “spend the Soviets into submission”-the new containment “myth”-analyzes the origins of the U.S. containment doctrine. He contrasts the harsher realist Hobbsian/Machiavellian views focusing on a stringent containment policy to those of Niebuhr, Morgenthau, and Kennan, who advocated a gradual opposition to…

Alliance Norms and War: A New Piece in an Old Puzzle
The relationship between alliance aggregation and war is one of the most perplexing research questions within the field of international relations. We propose that by measuring the degree to which international norms support binding treaty obligations, a macroindicator of alliance commitment can be devised that is grounded in the cultural attributes of the international system, and that can be used in conjunction with indicators based on structur…

The Compliant Foreign Policy of the Dependent State Revisited: Empirical Linkages and Lessons from the Case of Somalia
Studies of the linkage between economic dependence and foreign policy compliance have been confounded by the difficulties of measuring dependence. Single indicators of dependence may be inadequate reflections of what appears to be a multidimensional phenomenon, but the relative potency of these factors has not yet been weighed. The ability to determine the relative salience of dependence factors has been limited by the “dominant state-centric” mo…

Normative Constraints on the Use of Force Short of War
In order to ascertain whether international legal norms can contribute to the inhibition of recourse to war by states, a 'focused comparison' of norm change and the frequency with which serious disputes be tween states escalated to war was made of two discrete historical systems, the Metternichean Concert (1816-1848) and the so-called period of European unification (1849-1870) prior to the Bismarkian Con cert. The evidence suggests the capacity o…
International legal norms and the preservation of peace, 1820–1964: Some evidence and Bivariate relationships
The purpose of this study is to determine whether changes in international legal norms have historically been associated with changes in the frequency of war, uses of force short of war, and arbitral activity among major powers. International legal norms are conceptualized as quasi‐authoritative statements that communicate the prevailing attitudes held by members of the state system regarding the acceptability of certain types of behavior.

Recent writings of Professor Frank raise basic questions concerning the nature of science and its relations to social, political, theological and metaphysical issues. This paper concentrates on several of these questions. What determines the acceptance of an hypothesis in the sciences? Is it explanation of the facts and confirmation by experimentation or is it the capacity of a theory to guide human conduct? Professor Frank's espousal of the latt…

Bureaucratic determinants of Foreign policy: Some empirical evidence
A recent development in the study of foreign policy is the growing attention being given to bureaucratic politics explanations of national foreign policy behavior.'

Foreign policy behavior, the bureaucratic perspective contends, can be accounted for best in term…
Theology and Religious Studies: Friends or Enemies
“Exponents or practitioners of theology and of religious studies have become estranged, so much so that enmity is often the only appropriate description of the relationship.
