Democracy and Peace (1916)

Democracy and Peace is a book written by James Bissett Pratt in 1916, which explores the relationship between democracy and peace. The author argues that democracy is essential for the maintenance of peace and that the two are interconnected. The book is divided into three main sections, with the first section providing an overview of the concept of democracy and its historical development. The second section explores the role of democracy in promoting peace, arguing that democratic societies are less likely to engage in war and are more likely to resolve conflicts peacefully. The final section of the book examines the challenges facing democracy and peace in the modern world, including issues such as nationalism, imperialism, and militarism. Throughout the book, Pratt draws on examples from history and contemporary politics to illustrate his arguments and offers insights into how democratic societies can work towards a more peaceful future. Overall, Democracy and Peace is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between two important concepts and offers valuable insights into the challenges facing modern democracies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
