Dr John Macmillan
Senior Lecturer in International Relations

Marie Jahoda 216

Research area(s)

  • Democratic peace
  • Liberal state peace / war
  • Military intervention
  • International relations theory

Research Interests

I am interested in history and theory of both the particular peace-proneness and the use of force by liberal states (democracies). Initially the focus of this interest was on the Democratic Peace proposition but more recently the focus has been more on liberal state intervention.
