Summary "How do the structures of domestic political institutions affect whether democracies use force or make threats during international disputes? In Disarmed Democracies: Domestic Institutions and the Use of Force, David P. Auerswald examines this question. While action is shaped as much by domestic political calculations as by geopolitical circumstance, Auerswald shows that variations in democratic institutional structures make some democracies more likely to use force than others."
"Disarmed Democracies is for those concerned with the exercise of U.S. leadership in the next century, the use of force by democracies, and the future behavior of democratizing nations, and for social scientists interested in the domestic politics of international security, comparative foreign policy, or the study of domestic institutions."--Jacket
