25. Still On The Clock : A democratic peace theory review on the US and Venezuela conflicts between 2001 -2007
University essay from Stockholms universitet/LatinamerikainstitutetAbstract : This dissertation, by using the case of tensions between the United States and Venezuela between 2001-2007, examines Rummel’s hypothesis that democratic countries are inherently peaceful, and investigates whether the tensions in US-Venezuela relations under president George W Bush and president Hugo Chavez confirms or rejects Rummel’s hypothesis.
