Michael Doyle, Professor at the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University, considers liberal peace theory in light of the current war in Ukraine. What is liberal peace theory? Do democratic regimes encourage restraint? Why is economic integration not sufficient to avoid war? How important is the dimension of regime type to Russia's invasion of Ukraine? What is the importance of national self-determination? Prof. Doyle engages these issues in a thoughtful, measured and insightful discussion.
