The determination of which international relations theoretical perspective offers the greatest explanation for democratic peace is relative to the person and the situation in which peace is absent. Democratic Peace is the concept that two democratic nations will not go to war with one another, so the spread is desirable (Nau, 2017). There are ample arguments from each perspective, such as the Identity perspective would argue that democracies are more peaceful than all other states, and that democracies do not go to war with one another because they share common domestic norms (Nau, 2017). A Liberal Perspective would argue that democracies do not go to war with one another because they do not want to disrupt trade from which each country mutual benefit (Nau, 2017). Additionally, the liberal perspective would argue that they belong to the same international institutions, which laws and practices they choose to fellow (Nau, 2017). The realist perspective would argue that democracies will not go to with with one another because they belong to the same alliances in fighting other alliances (Nau, 2017). Realist would argue that democracies do not go to war with one another because they successfully use balance-of-power to avoid war (Nau, 2017).
