By their nature, democracies clearly have greater constraints than
autocratic regimes on their freedom of action as they have to meet
constitutional, legal and moral criteria in their use of force, and
particularly so regarding the management of small wars. The
relatively slower decision-making processes reduces the amount of
flexibility required for waging small wars. Democratic political
processes, including engaging in war, also require a certain amount
of transparency, which is invariably at the expense of the military
operational needs for secrecy. Unquestionably, democracies pay a
certain price in combat effectiveness for maintaining their values.
This collection brings together a number of case studies showing
how democracies have won small wars.
