About the Book
Democratic Peace: The Foreign Policy Implications is designed to help readers to gain the understanding needed for informed and thoughtful choices concerning the key issue of democratisation as a conduct to peace and stability at the regional and global levels.
The contributors to the volume believe that every policy needs a sound theoretical rationale. The New Delhi Seminar on Teaching and Research in International Relations under the auspices of the Indian Council of Social Science Research brought together experts from India and abroad to gain a better general understanding of the dynamics of conflict and peace as they affect India in the post-Cold War world. The discussion of issues turned to the need for research into the phenomenon of democratic peace which would combine theoretical and practical perspectives. Given India's robust commitment to democratic values, should democratic peace become the centre piece of India's future strategy in its relations with the outside world in general and to the democratic world in particular, and first and foremost with the USA?
This volume will be of interest to foreign policy makers, political scientists and strategic experts and all who are interested in peace and world security issues.
