  • Military Power is OBSOLETE
    • TRADE NOT WAR
      • This is the LIBERAL idea that nations will NOT go to war if they TRADE
        • This is because it is in the INTERESTS' of the ECONOMY to not go to war (the economy will be affected BADLY)
        • E.g. DELL THEORY of CONFLICT PREVENTION (FRIEDMAN)
          • Where no state who owns a chain of DELL will not go to war
    • SPREAD of DEMOCRACY
      • E.g. ARAB SPRING 2011
        • Spread of liberal democracy means less people will go to war as it is UNDEMOCRATIC to do so
          • CULTURAL GLOBALISATION has led to the SPREAD of DEMOCRACY
            • DEMOCRATIC PEACE THESIS
              • This the idea that NO LIBERAL DEMOCRACIES have GONE TO WAR
    • UNWINNABLE WARS
      • States will NOT  go to war if they know they have NO CHANCE of WINNING
      • This could be due to not knowing what will happen, from ASYMMETRICAL WARS
        • E.g. The use of GUERILLA WARFARE in VIETNAM & AFGHANISTAN has made it LESS EASIER to PREDICT
        • States will NOT  go to war if they know they have NO CHANCE of WINNING
