- Summary:
- When is military force an acceptable tool of foreign policy? Why do democracies use force against each other? David R. Mares argues that the key factors influencing political leaders in all types of polities are the costs to their constituencies of using force and whether the leader can survive their displeasure if the costs exceed what they are willing to pay. "Violent Peace" proposes a conceptual scheme for analyzing militarized conflict and supports this framework with evidence from the history of Latin America.
