在研究“民主胜利论者”为支持民主的军事效力而提供的AVE因果机制时，德施认为“这些机制在逻辑上都不具有说服力，也没有太多的经验支持”(第25页)。在这篇文章中，我不打算回应德施提出的所有观点。相反，我把重点放在他的一个批评上--即在战时民主盟友是否能比非民主盟友更有效率，以及他们是否更有可能取得胜利。我的目标有两个：第一，对联盟行为、国内政治机构的作用及其对战争表现的影响之间的关系，提供一种替代的理论解释，而不是德施将其归因于民主胜利者的解释；第二，提供量化的解释。
In examining ave causal mechanisms offered by "democratic triumphalists" to support the military effectiveness of democracy, Desch argues that "none of them is logically compelling or has much empirical support" (p. 25). In this ar- ticle I do not attempt to respond to all the points Desch raises. Instead I focus on one of his critiques—namely, whether democratic allies can be more effec- tive than nondemocratic allies in wartime and whether they are more likely to achieve victory. My goal is twofold: arst, to offer an alternative theoretical ex- planation for the relationship between alliance behavior, the role of domestic political institutions, and their effect on war performance to explanations that Desch attributes to democratic triumphalists; and second, to provide quantita-
