CEVAP:

Following the liberal tradition; democratic peace theory is based on (1) faith in human rationality, (2) capability of maintaining peace, (3) ability to overcome anarchy and power politics and (4) peace enhancing effects of trade (van de Haar, 2009, 147). Kant in his book “Perpetual Peace” (1795) wrote about three definitive articles that had to be accepted by all nations for a perpetual peace to exist. These conditions are as follows; (1) republican constitutions (2) international law and organization (mutual nonaggression pact) and (3) cosmopolitan law (coming from economic interdepence) (Doyle, 1983, 227; Oneal & Russett, 1997, 268). According to liberal economic theory, the economic interdependence is the bond of cosmopolitan ties.
