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.
Kant and Perpetual Peace:
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." In particular, the 20th century turning into the age of Nuclear Age and the increase threats.
Liberal theories in terms of International Relations (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 Immanuel Kant in his essay called, "Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch," 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."
