waltz also takes on democratic peace theory, which holds that no two democracies will go to war with each other, as one that doesn't present a proper challenge to realism. war is rooted in the anarchic structure, or a self-help environment, of the international system, waltz argues. simply changing the domestic political structure of countries will not eliminate war, waltz notes. however, “democracies seldom fight democracies”, although democracies are more likely to initiate wars against non-democracies because the former believes the latter must become democratized so as to make the democratic peace more robust. thus, the spread of democracy can decrease the amount of war in the world in waltz's view. the second challenge to realist theory argues that economic interdependence promotes peace. waltz believes this causal logic is backward: peace can promote economic interdependence. peace abounds when a political monopoly on force, or a favorable balance of power, prevents revisionist powers from altering the status quo. after all, waltz argues, strong economic interdependence did not prevent war in 1914.
