Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

In Democracy and International Conflict, James Lee Ray defends the
idea, so optimistically advanced by diplomats in the wake of the
Soviet Union's demise and so hotly debated by international
relations scholars, that democratic states do not initiate war
against one another and therefore offer an avenue to universal
peace. Ray acknowledges that despite persuasive theoretical
arguments and empirical evidence in favor of this idea, the
democratic peace proposition is susceptible to attack on three
points: the statistical rarity of both international wars and
democracies; the difficulty in defining democracy; and the
vulnerability of democratic regimes. To confront these criticisms,
Ray offers a systematic analysis of regime transitions and a
workable definition of democracy as well as careful scrutiny of
cases in which democracies averted international conflict.
