For centuries, people around the world have sought the idea of ​​eternal global peace. The basic framework for this idea was provided by Immanuel Kant in his 1795 essay “On Perpetual Peace.” In his work, he wrote that peace is not natural for human beings and that is why governments representing societies and power, through the use of politics, must guarantee the condition of peace. Immanuel Kant's essay “On Perpetual Peace” provided the starting point from which the “theory of democratic peace” originated. With the development of politics and international relations, various forms of “democratic theory of peace” have arisen, but there is still a fundamental concept, namely the idea that democracy is the cause of peace. According to the “democratic peace theory”, democracies are more oriented towards peace than war, since they would lose more if they waged a war than by maintaining economic relations with the specific democracy. Furthermore, many scholars use historical data as evidence of how two democracies would not fight each other, but in the past there have been few democracies and few wars. This essay will mainly focus on the concepts of “democratic peace theory”, how they are relevant in modern times and whether in reality peace is maintained only due to the fact that states have democratic regimes. One of the most interesting aspects of democratic peace theory is its simplicity. This is favored by both the public and academia, because it provides a clear explanation of the claim that democracies do not fight each other. In the world of politics and international relations having a clear idea is valuable and that is why this theory gains a large amount of popularity in this field. This can be considered the first strength of democracy... the center of the charter... the importance of its supra-state and intra-state aspects. Normative implications can have two side effects: maintaining the peace or justifying war.
