219 pages. Edited by Peter Graeff and Guido Mehlkop, this collection of essays examines how capitalist and democratic institutions relate to war and poverty, setting democratic peace theory alongside capitalist peace theory. The editors open with an introduction and close with a concluding chapter. Early chapters look back to Thucydides and ancient Greece to ask whether a democratic peace existed then, define what the democratic peace is and why it should be pursued, and trace the links between production, prosperity, state preferences and peace. Later chapters are empirical. One tests how robust the connection is between market-oriented institutions and policies and economic growth. Another uses correspondence analysis to study economic freedom, wealth and corruption. Others cover varieties of capitalism and social change in rich democracies, and authority as a mechanism of social coordination. The book includes black-and-white figures.

For a very large part of the world’s population, poverty and war are still part of everyday life. Drawing on insights from several disciplines, this book attempts to find scientific answers to explain the relationship between conflict and poverty.
This interdisciplinary volume brings together a range of arguments that synthesize both democratic and capitalist peace theory. Supported by a large body of research, contributors contend that nations with institutions that maximize individual political and civil rights minimize the probability of fighting each other. The volume includes:
- contributors from leading and award winning scholars in the field, including Bruce Russett and Erik Gartzke
- topics such as democratization and economic development, situated within the broader contexts of globalization and modernization
- contributions supported by empirical analyses, systematizing democratic and capitalist peace theories
This book will be vital reading for students and scholars of International Relations and globalization, and also for a broader range of subjects including sociology, political science and economics.
