Democracy and civil war: A note on the democratic peace proposition

Matthew Krain and Marissa Edson Myers

International Interactions, 1996, vol. 23, issue 1, 109-118

Abstract: Democracies may not fight each other, but do they fight themselves? Despite the need to better understand internal wars, empirical investigations of the democratic peace have focused on international war between democracies. We test the effect of regime type on civil wars, a class of events that is widely overlooked in the study of conflict. We find that regime type strongly affects civil war participation.
