Conflict resolution "perspective" in non-democratic regimes

Pərvin Bəhramoğlu

Because of the common political culture they share, democracies never fight each other. According to the researches the conflict between one non-democratic and one democratic state is more likely to occur, than between two non-democratic countries. So the theory reveals that democratization of states can decrease the number of wars worldwide. We can show it in the example of Azerbaijan Armenia "Nagorno Karabakh conflict", which has not been resolved for more than 25 years, and the main reason for that is the regimes which are non-democratic.

But why are the authoritarian regimes not interested in the resolution of the conflicts?
