Thought Leader Michael Doyle on the Kantian Approach to International Affairs

3 According to Doyle, Kant believed that states should act morally and rationally, and that they would eventually form a "perpetual peace" through a "federation of free states." This federation would be based on a shared commitment to respecting the sovereignty and freedom of all member states. Doyle explains that Kant's ideas have influenced modern international relations theory, particularly in the areas of international law and the concept of a "cosmopolitan society."

First, Kant proposed the creation of a rational Republican state, responsive to a representative assembly and constitutionalism, to reduce the likelihood of unnecessary wars. Second, he suggested a formal pledge among these states to live at peace and respect individual rights, creating a credible legal commitment. Lastly, Kant believed in the importance of increasing contact between nations through trade, tourism, and other exchanges, fostering a cosmopolitan order and recognizing common humanity. These three elements, according to Doyle, would establish a reliable basis for peace among these Republican states, although not a definitive solution to the problem of war.
