While studies have supported the notion that democratic states do not make war with other democracies, there is little consensus as to why such wars occur. Even without understanding the causes, statecraft has worked to create more democracies in the world, in turn hoping this would result in a more peaceful world. Unfortunately, making more democracies is an often-violent process. This thesis reexamines the Democratic Peace Theory at the dyadic level to explore the impacts of increasing economic trade volumes and transnational institutions.A key hallmark of democratic peace is that democracies have more open trade policies and trade with each other. This relationship suggests that increased economic interaction has a positive impact on democratization and bilateral peace. This theory was the premise behind President Richard Nixon's and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's decision to engage with the People's Republic of China (hereafter referred to as China) in 1970. A half-century later it is evident that the rise of industrialized China did not make the country more democratic. Despite the lack of democratization, however, China does behave like democracies that leverage economics rather than engage in militarized conflicts.While the example of China illustrates that economic interdependence does not necessarily lead to democratization, it can still encourage peaceful, non-militarized forms of international influence. In the contemporary global landscape, democratic states compete primarily through legal and economic means rather than direct military conflict.Since China also demonstrates these behaviors, it is valuable to explore the impacts of economics to encourage peace.The two nations that are the subject of this thesis are Taiwan and China, a relationship that is arguably the most consequential to global stability throughout the next decade. In this thesis, I explore the modern-day competitive environment between these two, seeking to determine if increased economic trade might reduce conflict within this dyad.My research contributes to the conversation surrounding democratic peace by examining global shifts in democratization in the 2020s. Empirical research on this subject has been limited in the past ten years due to the growing number of recognized nations, which also exponentially increases the number of units available for analysis on a dyadic level. Modern processing tools enable a more comprehensive understanding and reporting of global events, offering automated solutions for tagging and analyzing them.This thesis creates a temporal graphic to compare economic growth and bilateral trade against perceived levels of conflict as expressed in the media. While the thesis results did not provide a direct correlation between increased economic prosperity and peacefulness, it does point to a relationship between economic conditions and how Chinese leaders engage with Taiwan. In periods of economic decline and uncertainty, China is more inclined to open channels of communication with Taiwan while also presenting a less hostile message to the press. This was evident in the lowered tones of conflict during periods of economic stagnation. By examining moments of heightened cooperation, valuable insights were gained, which in turn help to inform future interactions and reduce tensions between the two nations.

520 3 $a 我們调查研究一個民主国家与另一個民主国家不会有开战的观点，对于此类看法，其中有很多不確定的因素。無論如何，只要能助于治理國家和建立更多的民主社會，并且帶来更加美好的和平世界。但是，建立更多民主社會的过程中，往往也需要付出代價的。此文将从二方面重新考虑民主和平的理论并探讨不断增长的经济贸易是與跨国机构有息息相關的影响。民主和平的世界重要特征是民主国家之间拥有更加自由开放和相互開發的贸易政策。这种关系表明，加强互動经济对民主化和双边和平有着积极的影响。这個理论是於1970年由理查德·尼克松总统和亨利·基辛格国务卿与中华人民共和国（以下简称中国）的外交关系。显而易见，半个世纪后，中国的工业贸易化崛起，但是并没有使它更加民主。中国并非民主，但是行为举止有些方面像民主国家一样。例如，利用经济手段而非参与军事冲突。以中国的例子，它利用经济发展，但是不一定会导致民主化。在当今世界民主国家中，它们主要通过法律和经济，并非直接利用军事行动。以台湾和中国大陆之间的问题来讨论促进经济对和平的影响具有什么重要意义和对未来十年全球的稳定发展。再探讨一下，现在两岸之间的关系，能否促进经济贸易的增长和减少他们之间的对立冲突。通过调查，当今世界民主化进展的变化趋势。过去十年，由于获得承认的民主国家不断增加，分析单位的数据系统，导致确实统一数据一直受到限制。?过，现在有自动化的处理工具使我们能够更准确的理解情況。我們再創建一個圖表来分析經济增长和双边贸易与媒体报道的之间進展情況。虽然分析圖表不顯示经济繁荣与和平之间的直接关系。但它提供了经济状况如何？并確定中国领导人与台湾之间的关系。在经济衰退和不确定时期，中国更倾向于开放与台湾的沟通方式，同时向媒体传递友好的信息，得到降低他們之間冲突間題。通过這樣的分析，有助於我们获得了宝贵的意見，并指导未来的互动和缓解两国之间的紧张关系。.
