Richmond, Understanding the Liberal Peace, St Andrews Papers in Peace and Conflict Studies, Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, University of St Andrews, available: (accessed 10 March 2006). The term liberal peace can be used to describe both a condition of peace within a single state, and also between one state and another, both attributable to the effect of a liberal political and economic order. Much of this debate traces back to Immanuel Kant's Perpetual Peace, as adapted first by Doyle and subsequently others to make an argument about modern international affairs.

    • Hamilton left office himself before the end of Washington's second term, but he retained a large measure of de facto power through his influence over the cabinet of his loyalists which Adams inherited from his predecessor. It was Adams' dismissal of two cabinet secretaries during the quasi-war with France, having realised their loyalties lay elsewhere than with him, which led to the final break between the president and the Federalist leader.

    • The War of 1812 between the United States and Britain had many causes, including the defence of neutral shipping rights, objections to impressment of seamen, and arguably the desire for territorial expansion at the expense of British Canada, but it was decidedly not conceived as a pro-French gesture, or as one aimed at furthering revolutionary movements in Europe. By that time Napoleon Bonaparte was established as Emperor of France and the prospects for an imminent wave of republican revolution in Europe had long since been discounted by even the most visionary Americans.

    • It would be wrong, of course, to portray such liberal thought as the exclusive preserve of Americans; the idea of a peace based on popular sovereignty was already well advanced on the British left, e.g. in the form of the Union for Democratic Control. Only in the United States, however, were such ideas made the central pillar of government policy
