Cold war myths and the new international realities: reconsidering theoretical premises
In: Österreichische Zeitschrift für Politikwissenschaft, Band 22, Heft 2, S. 141-151
"Dieser Artikel geht von der Prämisse aus, daß die Theorien von Wissenschaftlern und politischen Entscheidungsträgern über internationale Politik in der Zeit nach dem Ende des Kalten Krieges davon geprägt sind, wie diese theoretisch über die Lehren des Kalten Krieges denken. Sechs solch weit verbreitete, aber, wie der Autor argumentiert, fragwürdige theoretische Lehren, werden gegenwärtig vorgebracht: daß der lange Frieden zwischen den großen Mächten ermöglicht wurde durch Bipolarität, militante Eindämmung, Vorbereitung auf den Krieg, Allianzen, nukleare Abschreckung und hegemoniale Führung durch die USA. Diese Behauptungen, wird zu bedenken gegeben, sollten ohne Beweise nicht hingenommen werden, zumal sie auf einer irrigen Logik und falschen Darstellungen der Geschichte des Kalten Krieges beruhen. Von Wissenschaftlern wird verlangt, das Vertrauen in ihre Validität aufzugeben, und der Beitrag endet mit der Vorstellung einiger Rezepte für den Aufbau neuer hybrid-realistischer und neo-liberaler Modelle für das Verstehen von Weltpolitik im Gefolge des Kalten Krieges."

PUTTING MILITARY INTERVENTION INTO THE DEMOCRATIC PEACE
In: Comparative political studies: CPS, Band 30, Heft 1, S. 78-107
ISSN: 0010-4140
ALTHOUGH MANY EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATIONS HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT DEMOCRACIES ALMOST NEVER WAGE WAR AGAINST ONE ANOTHER, THERE REMAINS SOME DOUBT WHETHER THIS EMPIRICAL LAW APPLIES TO OTHER KINDS OF ARMED CONFLICT. THE PRESENT RESEARCH NOTE COMBINES TWO STREAMS OF EVIDENCE THAT SPEAK TO THIS QUESTION. LOOKING CROSS-NATIONALLY AT THE INCIDENCE OF OVERT MILITARY INTERVENTION BETWEEN 1974 AND 1991, AN INVENTORY OF 225 DISCRETE CASES IS PRODUCED WITH THE DISTRIBUTIONS DISAGGREGATED BY REGIME TYPE. COMPARING INITIATORS AND TARGETS DYADICALLY, THE STUDY UNCOVERS 51 INSTANCES IN WHICH DEMOCRACIES HAVE USED THIS FORM OF COERCIVE DIPLOMACY TO INFLUENCE THE POLICIES AND PRACTICES WITHIN OTHER DEMOCRATIC STATES. PRESENTING THE TRENDS EXHIBITED IN THESE INDICATORS AND JUXTAPOSING THEM WITH AN ALTERNATIVE MEASURE OF INTERVENTION, THIS RESEARCH COMMUNICATION ADVANCES SOME OBSERVATIONS ABOUT THE OBSTACLES TO CONVERGENCE AMONG RESEARCH FINDINGS IN THE STUDY OF THE DEMOCRATIC PEACE, AND SOME HYPOTHESES ABOUT THE KINDS OF RESEARCH QUESTIONS THAT WARRANT INVESTIGATION WITH THE INVENTORY OF CASES GENERATED.
