Russett and John R. O'Neal, Triangulating Peace: Democracy, Interdependence, and International Organizations, New York: Norton, 2001. The democratic peace thesis – that democracies rarely go to war against each other – apparently lent scientific support to this policy. However, later empirical findings on the more intricate correlation of civil war and liberalization undermines this derivation, and has not been as eagerly cited in the foreign policy statements of liberal state leaders (Paris [see n.4 above]).
