Response to Jessica L. P. Weeks's review of Democratic Militarism: Voting, Wealth, and War

I am grateful for the opportunity to carry on a conversation between our two books. It is an honor to have such a respected scholar provide such thoughtful feedback.

description I am grateful for the opportunity to carry on a conversation between our two books. It is an honor to have such a respected scholar provide such thoughtful feedback. Weeks assesses Democratic Militarism’s “most important theoretical” claim to be its linking of lower income to hawkishness. While this finding lends confidence to the larger theory’s implications (many parts of which are harder to test statistically), in hindsight I wish the book had placed more emphasis on its other key variable— military doctrine. Thanks to the capital-intensive requirements of modern war, in rich contemporary democracies the costs of conflict are low for all citizens. They are lower still for the majority relative to the wealthy.
