Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: When constructing the democratic peace thesis, Immanuel Kant’s seminal ‘Perpetual Peace’ is the usual starting point. This is despite the fact that the founder of the democratic peace thesis actually dismissed democracy in a most explicit fashion. For Kant, it was a growth in republics – identified by their representative system of government – which offered the possibility for ‘perpetual peace’. That we now generally talk of a democratic peace, rather than a republican peace, reflects the shift in democracy coming to be understood as a representative system of government. Even more basically, it is based on democracy coming to be considered as both practicable and desirable. Rather than concerning itself with the relationship between democracy and war, this paper focuses on a prior question that the democratic peace thesis presumes – how did democracy become a viable and desirable form of rule in the first place? It is argued that the key development was democracy shedding its classical meaning and coming to be understood as a representative form of rule. Democracy, understood as a representative, rather than direct, system of rule made it both practicable and desirable for modern states. This paper looks at the beginnings of this shift, highlighting the conceptual foundations of modern democracy.
