Why are democracies pursuing more military conflicts, but achieving
worse results? Democratic Militarism shows that a combination of
economic inequality and military technical change enables an
average voter to pay very little of the costs of large militaries
and armed conflict, in terms of both death and taxes. Jonathan
Caverley provides an original statistical analysis of public
opinion and international aggression, combined with historical
evidence from the late Victorian British Empire, the US Vietnam War
effort, and Israel's Second Lebanon War. This book undermines
conventional wisdom regarding democracy's exceptional foreign
policy characteristics, and challenges elite-centered explanations
for poor foreign policy. This accessible and wide ranging book
offers a new account of democratic warfare, and will help readers
to understand the implications of the revolution in military
affairs.
