    Democratic political processes regulate

    competition among groups with conflicting

    preferences. Although much of the

    competition occurs peacefully within

    existing political institutions, democratic

    practices can also facilitate the resolution of

    intense conflict when the political system is

    challenged from within by groups fighting

    against the established government, and

    when it is challenged from without and on the

    brink of interstate war. This chapter provides

    an overview of the scholarly literature

    linking democracy to peace and conflict

    resolution, including pertinent theoretical

    propositions and the balance of evidence

    generated by empirical researchers. The

    promise of peace associated with civil liberty,

    political openness, and the foreign policies

    of democratic states has long figured into the

    writings of moral and political philosophers,

    perhaps most notably in Immanuel Kant's

    essay Perpetual Peace, published in 1795.

    But the burgeoning academic literature in

    recent decades is largely the product of

    social scientific research, much (but not

    all) of which is built upon the analysis of

    large quantitative data sets. Our primary

    focus, then, is what social science, and in

    particular political science, tells us about

    the relationship between democracy, conflict

    resolution, and peace between and within

    states.

    The realist school of thought in international

    relations, which greatly influenced both

    scholarship and policymaking during the

    cold war, maintains that state behavior is

    primarily driven by the balance of power

    among rivals in the international system

    (Morgenthau 1948; Waltz 1979; Mearsheimer

    2001). Realists assume that states resemble

    unitary rational actors in pursuit of a single

    overriding objective: survival and security in

    an anarchic system. The strenuous demands

    of the international system lead all states

    to behave in a similar fashion regard-

    less of their particular political institutions,

    economic structure, ideological orientation.
