在本文中，我们对民主和平假说做出了解释，即观察到民主国家很少互相争斗。我们表明，在存在信息不对称和战略互补的情况下，两个民主国家之间的战略互动不同于任何其他二元关系。在我们的模型中，两个民主国家和平解决冲突的可能性最高。但和平需要两个人才能实现；与两个非民主政权之间的冲突相比，一个民主国家卷入冲突并不一定会增加和平解决的可能性。
In this paper, we provide an explanation of the democratic peace hypothesis, i.e., the observation that democracies rarely fight one another. We show that in the presence of information asymmetries and strategic complements, the strategic interaction between two democracies differs from any other dyad. In our model, two democracies induce the highest probability of peaceful resolution of conflicts. But it takes two for peace; one democracy involved in a conflict does not necessarily increases the probability of a peaceful resolution compared to a conflict between two non-democratic regimes.
