Summary: Jarrod Hayes explores why democracies tend not to use
military force against each other. He argues that
democratic identity--the shared understanding within
democracies of who "we" are and what "we" expect from each
other--makes it difficult for political leaders to
construct external democracies as threats. At the same
time, he finds that democratic identity enables political
actors to construct external non-democracies as threats.
To explore his argument, he looks at U.S. relations with
two rising powers: India and China. Through his argument
and case studies, Professor Hayes addresses not just the
democratic peace but also the larger processes of threat
construction in international security, the role of
domestic institutions in international relations, and the
possibility for conflict between the United States and the
world's two most populous countries."--|cProvided by
