The article provides a theory of democracy, democratic peace and of their erosion. Conflicts in democracy are a nondestructive natural occurrence. In fact, democracies are institutionalized conflict resolution systems, democratic peace (pax democratica) works both domestically and internationally. Ideals of the French Revolution, the secular trinity liberte, egalite, fraternite, point to the core of democracy and democratic peace: (a) Liberty reduces frustrations and thus aggression, (b) equality makes people closer vertically, and (c) fraternity or brotherhood means horizontal closeness- common identity. Analogously, causes of the recent erosion of democracy and democratic peace can be viewed in curtailed liberty, equality, and fraternity, that is, (a) in rising frustrations and authoritarianism and eroding liberties, (b) in vertical distancing caused by corruption, electoral fraud, weakened middle class, and a rising underclass, and (c) in horizontal distancing-a weakened common identity as a result of incivility, ethnic nationalism, politicized religiousness, and so forth. Awareness of these factors may help to promote a democratic and thus peaceful world.
