John R. Oneal,Bruce Russett +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors test Kantian and realist theories of interstate conflict using data extending over more than a century, treating those theories as complementary rather than competing, and find that high levels of democracy and economic interdependence in the international system reduce the probability of conflict for all dyads, not just for those that are democratic or dependent on trade.
