Prompted by the commemorations of the onset of the First World War a century ago, this book asks what amounts to the key question for anyone interested in world politics: What makes for a peaceful order? Focusing on the nexus of democracy, order and peace, the volume provides extraordinarily nuanced and very timely answers to this question.

Democracy, Peace, and Security is an important contribution to the ongoing debate about the impact democracy has on peace and security. This book is an important intellectual tool for academics, graduate students, and faculty who are following this debate; but also for persons active in politics who are interested in a perspective which goes beyond the daily routine. The book establishes a link between academia, politics, and policies – an eye opener for all studying and doing research in International Relations.
