An example of a potential theory that explains democratic peace is the threat perception. Here, the suggestion is that democratic states view other democratic nations as less threatening when compared to autocracies.

The der demis. The theory of democratie peace is also in keeping of democracy. More importantly, it should be considered what a democracy is in this theory. A democracy is defined as “a country with three basic characteristics: (1) most citizens can vote, (2) the government comes to power in a free and fair election, and (3) the executive is either popularly elected (a presidential system) or move up is held responsible to an elected legislature (a parliamentary system)” (Quackenbush, 2015). The democratic theory is also in keeping with democratic peace. Democratic peace is considered to be critical in democracies.

This emphasis is accomplished through norm peaceful means. As such, when there is an election and one party wins, this eliminates the need argum to do way with the opponent.

The selectorate theory is the other explanation of democratic peace. This particular theory as explained by Quackenbush (2015), is almost similar to the institutional theory. However, it provides a different point of view in the context of governance. The theory makes the assumption that “leaders' primary preference is to stay in power” (Quackenbush, 2015). This is mainly based on the ideology that in as much as the leaders would want to change policies, they can only do so when they are in power. As such, they will often want to be in power. 我 Literature Review Theory Cyor argument) Notably, democracy has been studies in the past from different angles. It is critical to note that studies conducted on the subject have in the past mainly depended largely on the ability to have some sort of standardized measurement of democracy. In most studies, the Polity IV data set has been used as the source of the standard measurement for most international relations studies on democracy (Marshal, Jaggers & Gurr, 2010). In this data set, particular attention is given to the competitiveness in political participation, the openness involved in the recruitment by the executive, as well as the constraints impressed upon the chief executive. From this information, it has been determined that there are a number of ways to look at international conflict and democracy. Using the standardized data sets on democracies, it is possible to look at democracies in terms of which democracy is most likely to cause conflict or which democracies are more likely to remain peaceful. It can also be determined whether democracies are more likely to initiate conflict when they are compared to their non-democratic partners. The notion or ideology that seeks to shed light on how democracies relate is referred to as dyadic democratic peace. The argument in dyadic democratic peace is that it is very unlikely for Alahmadi 9 ATS Hypothesis The peace that exists among democratic nations is as a result, at least partly, of the general public views, attitudes, or beliefs. Research Design The research design to be use is the descriptive research where there is the use of case studies to help in identifying the attitudes of the people towards the democratic peace. There is the use of observation, and this is qualitative analysis as it shows the different variables that are critical to ensuring that the research is validated in a proper manner. The collection of the information in the case is through the use of questionnaires, and this helps in the identification of the perceptions and the attitudes of the people (Bentahar & Cameron, 2015). conflict The dependent variable is the democratic peace, and the independent variable is the attitude and the belief of the citizens. The identification of the sample is made randomly, and this helps in ensuring that there are diverse views on the issues that affect the democracy. The obtaining the different information is important in ensuring that the population is given an equal chance in the identification of the issues that affect the society. Where there is the expression of the opinions from the different people, there is the assurance that the information from the research will be accurate. The sample will consist of 250 people that are selected from different regions and their information will help in making sure that there is the validation of the hypothesis. It is through this that there is the assignment of the opinions of the people and the information that is necessary in democratic nations. There is the investigation of the issues that continue to affect them.

General Public Belief and the Democratic Peace
Democracy can be defined in very many ways; several measurements of democracy are
also available and it is from one of these measurements by freedom house that we choose to
define democracy. A democracy is that which the political rights and civil liberties of the people
are evident: political rights involves having the right to freely participate in an election through
an evidently uncorrupt electoral process to choose a functioning government. The civil liberties
of the people in a democracy include having personal autonomy, the freedom of expression and
other individual rights (Hogstrom, 2013)
Democratic peace refers to the notion that democracy is a general way of nonviolence or
the idea that democratic states do not or even almost never enter into a war with one another. An
example of a potential theory that explains democratic peace is the threat perception. Here, the
suggestion is that democratic states view other democratic nations as less threatening when
compared to autocracies. To them, people in self-governing countries are normatively opposed to
violence; hence they solve their internal disagreements peaceably and also apply similar peaceful
norms internationally, mainly in relations with self-governing nations (Tomz & Weeks, 2012).
As such, they trust other democratic countries to express nonviolent standards in the same
manner and thus expect that other democracies will not attack them. It is important that there is
the investigation of the on the opinions of the pubic and its relation to democratic peace.

democracies (Glyn, 1998). It is important that there is the consideration of the various factors
that are likely to influence the peace in the country and this means that there is the establishment
of the issues in the different nations. With democratic peace, there is the challenging of the
systems of politics and this helps in making sure that there is the identification of the strategies
that help in the stabilization of the democracies.
The definition of democracy should consider what a democracy is in this theory. A
democracy is defined as “a country with three basic characteristics: (1) most citizens can vote,
(2) the government comes to power in a free and fair election, and (3) the executive is either
popularly elected (a presidential system) or is held responsible to an elected legislature (a
parliamentary system)” (Quackenbush, 2015). The democratic theory is also in keeping with
democratic peace. Democratic peace is considered to be critical in democracies. Matter of fact, it
has been determined that a “pair of democracies are less likely to fight each other than are other
states” (Quackenbush, 2015). However, democracies also regularly fight other non-democracies.
There are several explanations for why democratic peace exists and the first is a
normative ways argument. This explanation is based on the impact of democratic norms or
behavior. Notably, these norms emphasize on the regulated political competition. This emphasis
is accomplished through peaceful means. As such, when there is an election and one party wins,
this eliminates the need to do away with the opponent. Often, it is expected that the losers will
come back and challenge the position. When explained from an institutional explanation,
emphasis is accorded to the institutional structures. The basic idea in this latter explanation is
that “democracies are characterized by institutional constraints – checks and balances between
executive and legislative branches of government” (Quackenbush, 2015).
