Autocratic Peace: Prospects for Empirical Research

Summary/Abstract: an argument of peaceful behaviour of the countries with democratic political regime within international system was conceptualized with democratic peace theory in the eighties of 20th century. guided by Kant’s ideas on “separate peace” between some types of political regimes, Michael doyle developed theoretical postulates of democratic peace in 1983. dyadic democratic peace variant of the theory, introduces an assumption according to which two states are peace prone within their interrelations. Recently, there have been published several academic articles with the idea of “negative version” of the democratic peace theory or so-called autocratic peace. according to the postulates of this idea, two autocratic states are less war prone in their relations. Thesis on autocratic peace takes democratic peace theory categories such as dyads, spatiotemporal distribution, variables, defining the autocracy and the interpretations of empirical evidence. This article aims at presenting the most notable academic discussions concerning the potential empirical research of conflicts using the thesis on autocratic peace.
