al. “An Institutional Explanation of the Democratic Peace,” American Political Science Review. Vol. 93, No. 4 (December 1999). Duncan Hunter, a former Congressman from San Diego, argued in 2017 that the United States should launch a preemptive military attack against North Korea because of its nuclear weapons. Given what you know about democracies and the conditions under which they are willing to start a war, how likely do you think it is that any President (Republican or Democrat) would follow Hunter’s advice? (Hint: in order to answer this well you need to explain what the likely repercussion to the U.S. would be for a preemptive strike, how this would affect a President’s ability to get re-elected, and to what degree a President would be influenced by this.)
