What are possible explanations of the democratic peace from a liberal perspective?
What will be an ideal response?
The liberal perspective would argue that democracies do not go to war with each other either because they trade more often with each other (and benefit from mutual gains), because they belong to the same international institutions (and follow their laws and practices), because they have unique contracting or negotiating advantages (which allow them to avoid war), or because leaders have to appeal to larger coalitions to survive politically and, therefore, choose wars only with nondemocratic countries in which democracies enjoy an advantage in mobilizing military resources.
