If the absence of war among democracies is assumed to be indicative of a pluralistic security community as defined by Karl Deutsch, this does not necessarily justify the expectation that the future will be less and less war-prone. This would only be the case if the democratization of the interstate system is expected to continue. On theoretical grounds the conditions for the integration as well as disintegration within and between political communities are related to the continuing process of interde pendence on a global scale. Theoretical, empirical, and methodological progress is necessary to the analysis of global developments in general, the study of war in particular. In each of these three areas Karl Deutsch made highly productive contributions.
