'''Republican Liberalism''' is an ] which claims that ] (almost) never fight each other, and in that sense are more peaceful. However, the theory does not propose that Democracies are more peaceful than non-democracies, as many Democracies are engaged in wars with non-democracies.
The theory holds that the reason for this intra-democratic peace is rooted in the regime type of these countries (Democracy) and the existence of similar domestic political cultures, common moral values, economic cooperation and interdependence.<ref>Jackson, Robert and Georg Sorensen (2006), Introduction to International Relations:theories and approaches, Oxford, OUP, 3ed, p111</ref>

The issue of war and peace has been a very important political issue since the birth of armed conflicts that as a "universal norm in human history."<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/59463663|title=The invention of peace and the reinvention of war|last=1922-|first=Howard, Michael,|date=2002|publisher=Profile|others=Howard, Michael, 1922 Nov. 29-|isbn=9781861974099|edition=Rev. and extended ed|location=London|oclc=59463663}}</ref> In particular, the 20th century turning into the age of Nuclear Age and the increase threats.

Liberal theories in terms of ] (I.R.), attempts to explain how both peace and cooperation is possible. Perpetual Peace is a reference in world affairs where peace is established permanently. The idea of Perpetual Peace was made famous by German Philosopher ] in his essay called, "]," 1795.

== The Definitive Articles of Perpetual Peace: ==

When we are talking Perpetual Peace, Kant offer three definitive articles to make permanent peace function. These Definitive Articles are:
# "The Civil Constitution of Every State should be Republican."
# "The Law of Nations shall be founded on a Federation of Free States."
# "The Law of World Citizenship shall be Limited to Conditions of Universal Hospitality."
The first Definitive Article of Perpetual Peace that Kant explains is, "The Civil Constitution of Every State should be Republican." When Kant says that every state should be Republican, we need to move away from the notion of political parties. Kant is not talking about ], but rather the form of government that existed in Rome. In Ancient Rome, they began to move away from ] (Direct Democracy) and started a ]. Kant's main argument for this form of government is that, if all nations were to be Republics and all citizens have the right to vote on issues such as going to war. Also, war would come to end fairly quickly. Another reason for Republics is, with a "legislatures to check the power of monarchs (or presidents) to make war."<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/929155291|title=International relations|last=C.,|first=Pevehouse, Jon|others=Goldstein, Joshua S., 1952-|isbn=9780134406350|edition=Brief seventh edition|location=Boston|oclc=929155291}}</ref> This is an example of the principle of Checks and Balance to make sure that no-one person holds absolute power in the decision making process that impacts everyone.
