Main debate: Does democracy produce peace?
 

1. Should we expect democracies to be war-prone than non-democratic states?

2. Will democracies always refuse to fight wars with other democracies?

3. Is the “democratic peace” just a story about recent alliance patterns?

4. Should U.S. foreign policy support rapid democratization abroad wherever and whenever possible?
