Interests or Norms? How Military Aid and Arms Transfers Undermine the Democratic Peace
The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of military aid and arms transfers on Militarized Interstate Dispute (MID). The “democratic peace� literature has found empirical evidence for the claim that democracies rarely, if ever, engage each other in militarized disputes. However, many wars against democracies are indirectly supported by other democracies. The proposed paper will address the military aids and arms transfers from democracies to nondemocracies in war, and test the significances of their correlations with MID. The research hypothesis of this paper is that military interests have higher priority than democratic norms. It will compare the effects of military aid and arms transfers, with that of political regime, economic interdependence, international organization membership, and geographical contiguity. The proposed paper will make an important contribution to the Peace Studies, by elaborating the democratic peace model and providing new aspects to the explanation of dispute
