Abstract
This article presents and discusses cross-cultural codes that were used to test the hypothesis that more "democratic" (more partici patory) polities in the ethnographic record fight with each other less often than do less participatory polities. The codes measure frequency of internal and external war, and various aspects of political participation on the local and multilocal levels, among other variables.Keywords
