TL;DR: Examination of comparative data on nonhuman primates and crosscultural study of foraging societies suggests that attacks are lethal because where there is sufficient imbalance of power their cost is trivial, and that it is resources of reproductive interest to males that determine the causes of intergroup aggression.

Domestic Structure, Decisional Constraints, and War So Why Kant Democracies Fight?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that previous studies have misspecified the theoretical argument that democracies are less war-prone than other forms of government because the people, who must bear the costs of war in lives and resources, will restrain the aggressive impulses of their leaders.
