Alexander V. Kozhemiakin 
Expanding the Zone of Peace? [PDF ebook] 
Democratization and International Security

Kozhemiakin examines the impact of democratization on the foreign policy of transitional regimes. On the basis of the case studies of four currently democratizing nations (Russia, Ukraine, Serbia and Hungary) and a quantitative analysis of several dozen contemporary and historical cases of democratization, the book challenges the frequently made assumption that international peace is invariably strengthened by the process of democratization.
