Abstract
There is a burgeoning literature on the relationship between democracy and war. Building on the knowledge already gained on this topic; this paper suggests several areas for further verification, clarification, and extension. It addresses especially the need to attend to data coding conventions, opportunity asymmetries, context‐specific explanations, reciprocal causality, historical contingency, and rules of translation between different levels of analysis.
