Representative Government and War (1903)

Representative Government and War is a book written by Charles Ross in 1903 that explores the relationship between democracy and warfare. Ross argues that representative government, while promoting peace and stability, also has the potential to lead to war due to the inherent nature of democratic decision-making processes. He examines historical examples of democracies going to war and analyzes the underlying factors that contributed to these conflicts. Ross also offers suggestions for how representative governments can avoid the pitfalls of war and maintain peaceful relations with other nations. This book is a thought-provoking analysis of the complex relationship between democracy and war, and it remains relevant to contemporary discussions about international relations and conflict resolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
