Representative Government and War

By Charles Ross

Book Overview

Representative Government and War is a book written by Charles Ross in 1903. The book explores the relationship between representative government and war, examining the impact of democratic systems on the likelihood of conflict. Ross argues that representative government can both prevent and provoke war, depending on the circumstances. He examines case studies from history, including the American Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War, to illustrate his points. Ross also considers the role of international law and diplomacy in preventing war. The book is a thought-provoking analysis of the complex relationship between democracy and conflict, and remains relevant today as the world continues to grapple with issues of war and peace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
