To understand why dictators have a problem with making peace - or at least a genuine peace - the link between the nature of a regime and its external behavior must be understood.

To understand why dictators have a problem with making peace

Summary

This quote suggests that in order to comprehend why dictators struggle to achieve true peace, it is necessary to recognize the correlation between the character of a dictatorship and its actions towards other nations. Dictatorial regimes often prioritize their own interests and hold tightly onto power, which can hinder their ability to genuinely pursue peace. Their external behavior is influenced by their authoritarian nature, making it difficult for them to establish sincere and lasting peace agreements. Understanding this dynamic is crucial to grasping the challenges dictators face in seeking peaceful relations with other countries.
