The Democratic Peace theory is based upon the Perpetual Peace theory presented by: ________?
APaul Kennedy
BNone of these
CKarl Marx
DEmmanuel Kant
Correct answer
D. Emmanuel Kant
Explanation
The Democratic Peace theory, which posits that democracies rarely go to war with each other, is rooted in Immanuel Kant’s “Perpetual Peace” (1795), where he argued that republican governments and international cooperation could lead to lasting peace. Karl Marx focused on class struggle, and Paul Kennedy is known for his work on great power decline, not democratic peace. Thus, “None of these” is incorrect.
