A teoria da paz democrática e a prevenção de conflitos armados: Análise a partir da Guerra do Cenepa

Abstract

This research aims to perform a test of the Democratic Peace Theory (DPP), under the analysis of the Cenepa War, confronting the main premise of the DPP, which suggests that liberal democratic states do not fight each other. Therefore, the origins of the idea of democratic peace and the main criticisms of it are reviewed. In addition, the War of Cenepa and its antecedents will be presented, so that it can be identified that these events are not adequately explained by the DDP and, therefore, indicate its falsifiability.
