The democratic peace has attracted a lot of attention in academic literatures, but the factors driving the phenomenon require further examination since a democratic regime does not necessarily adopt a peaceful external behaviour.

The present analysis is particularly useful to students of international relations and global politics or to those interested in foreign policy analysis and contemporary state conduct.
