- Title
The Road to Oligarchic Peace: Comparing the Antebellum United States and Ukraine.
- Authors
Platonova, Daria
- Abstract
This article endeavours to answer the question as to what accounts for the preservation of peace in the United States and Ukraine in 1850 and 2004 when there was a potential for an armed conflict. I argue that parallels can be drawn between the events taking place in both countries in the antebellum period, and, through a detailed empirical comparison, it can be demonstrated that peace endures when, during a supreme moment of crisis, an "oligarchic peace", that is a compromise, is negotiated at the level of national and regional elites that ensures representation and protection of property rights for the key elites.
