Political institutions, war, and peace: Global and regional dynamics

有关民主和平的想法已经被一些政治领导人抓住，并与公众的想象力产生了共鸣。澳大利亚与阿富汗、中国、斐济、印度尼西亚和伊拉克等除稳定民主之外的各种政权类型的国家都有重要的关系。该项目系统地了解了各种政治制度对现实世界外交政策的影响。它允许学者、公民和政策制定者超越民主和平等一概而论，而民主和平的普遍性在最近的研究中被掩盖了。它为保护澳大利亚做出了贡献，发展了尖端量化方法的多学科社会科学能力，并指导了一名博士生。

Ideas about democratic peace have been seized upon by some political leaders, and resonate with the public imagination. Australia has important relationships with countries of a wide range of regime types beyond stable democracy, such as Afghanistan, China, Fiji, Indonesia, and Iraq. This project gives systematic understanding of the real-world foreign policy implications of the range of political regimes. It allows scholars, citizens, and policy makers to move beyond generalisations like democratic peace, the universality of which is belied in recent research. It contributes to safeguarding Australia, develops multidisciplinary social science capacity in cutting edge quantitative methods, and mentors a PhD student.
