War has diverse and seemingly contradictory effects on liberal
democratic institutions and processes. It has led democracies to
abandon their principles, expanding executive authority and
restricting civil liberties, but it has also prompted the
development of representative parliamentary institutions. It has
undercut socioeconomic reform, but it has also laid the basis for
the modern welfare state. This landmark volume brings together
distinguished political scientists, historians, and sociologists to
explore the impact of war on liberal democracy - a subject far less
studied than the causes of war but hardly less important. Three
questions drive the analysis: How does war shape the transition to
and durability of democracy? How does war influence democratic
contestation? How does war transform democratic participation?
Employing a wide range of methods, this volume assesses what
follows in the wake of war. It is an urgent question for scholars,
and even more for citizens, especially in our anxious post-9/11
age.
