1. Democratic peace theory has become central, not just to debates in international relations theory but also to regional security analysis. Take, for example, Gerald Segal's claim: 'By far the most important factor for international security seems to be the emergence of pluralist (democratic) political systems', in 'How insecure is Pacific Asia?', International Affairs 73: 2, 1997, p. 235. For a good overview of the debate see Michael Brown, Sean Lynn-Jones and Steven Miller, eds, Debating the democratic peace (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1996).

Indeed, Malcolm Deas suggests that there may in fact be a link between levels of domestic violence and interstate conflict, and that Colombians were able to continue fighting among themselves precisely because of the absence of external enemies.
