Why are the democratic peace and international regime theories inconsistent with realism, and why is hegemonic stability theory inconsistent with liberalism?
A good answer must 1) provide a clear thesis statement that is developed and supported by assigned readings throughout the paper; 2) summarize realism and liberalism (one succinct paragraph each) within the first 2 pages; and 3) demonstrate a thorough understanding of democratic peace, international regime, and hegemonic stability theories.
