John Ferejohn is the Samuel Tilden Professor of Law at New York University and a member of the National Academy of Sciences as well as the American Academy of Sciences. He is the author of Pork Barrel Politics and the coauthor of The Personal Vote and A Republic of Statutes.
Peace, many would agree, is a goal that democratic nations should strive to achieve. Considering the question of whether democracy is dependent on war, two celebrated political scientists trace the ways in which governments have mobilised armies since antiquity. They find that our modern form of democracy not only evolved in a brutally competitive environment but also was quickly excised when the powerful no longer needed their citizenry to defend against existential threats.
