During the Enlightenment the idea emerged that democracies would pursue a peaceful foreign policy. Various liberal politicians sympathised with this concept during the last two centuries, yet still fought wars when they came into power. This volume analyses this controversial phenomenon - from Thomas Jefferson's conception of war and peace; William E. Gladstone's intervention in Egypt to David Lloyd George's and Woodrow Wilson's decision to enter the First World War, up to John F. Kennedy's intervention in Vietnam. Additionally, the volume focuses on Joschka Fischer's support of an intervention in Kosovo, Tony Blair's involvement in the Iraq war and Barack Obama's drone war against terrorism.
