The prevailing view in academic literature holds that the involvement of the military in political power increases the frequency of armed conflicts between states. This paper aims to empirically test whether military governments are indeed more likely to initiate interstate wars compared to other types of autocracies, and to assess the validity of the claim that military dictatorships are more prone than military regimes to initiating interstate armed conflicts and wars. To this end, a list of armed interstate conflicts from 1946 to 2007 was compiled, and the initiator states were categorized by their political regime type to identify potential correlations. Conflict data were drawn from the Correlates of War project. For the purpose of this study, a list of 38 interstate conflicts occurring between 1946 and 2007 was compiled, and the political regime type of each conflict initiator was identified. The findings suggest that, in general, authoritarian regimes initiate more interstate conflicts than democracies. Compared to other types of autocracy, military rule does not rank first in the initiation of interstate wars; instead, it is typically preceded by personalist dictatorships. The study distinguishes between military dictatorships and military regimes. A military dictatorship is a form of military rule in which the head of state or president is a career military officer who comes to power through the overthrow of a civilian government-i.e., via a military coup. Its key distinction from a military regime lies in the absence of a collegial governing body. A military regime represents a more institutionalized form of military rule. It has been established that military dictatorships initiate wars and armed interstate conflicts more frequently than military regimes, a difference attributed to the presence of checks and balances in the form of a military government junta acting as a collegial authority. The initiation of international conflict by military authorities coincides with the existence of a territorial dispute between the states involved. The findings of this study significantly contribute to understanding the escalation and potential resolution of international conflicts.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Исследование посвящено взаимосвязи военного правления и инициирования межгосударственных войн. В научной литературе преобладает мнение, что власть военных в политике приводит к росту количества вооруженных конфликтов между странами. Цель работы - эмпирически проверить, действительно ли военные правительства чаще начинают межгосударственные войны по сравнению с другими видами автократий, и насколько верно, что военные диктатуры чаще, чем военные режимы, инициируют межгосударственные вооруженные конфликты и войны. Для этого был составлен список вооруженных межгосударственных конфликтов с 1946 по 2007 г., а также сопоставлены государства - инициаторы войн с типами их политических режимов с целью установления взаимосвязи. Источником данных по войнам стали данные проекта «Корреляты войны». Для достижения цели данного исследования был составлен список из 38 межгосударственных конфликтов с 1946 по 2007 г., а также определен тип политического режима инициатора войны. Выявлено, что авторитарные режимы в целом инициируют больше межгосударственных конфликтов, чем демократии. В сравнении с другими видами автократий военное правление не занимает первое место по инициированию межгосударственных войн, пропуская вперед, как правило, персоналистскую диктатуру. В исследовании проводится различие между военными диктатурами и военными режимами. Военная диктатура - это один из видов военного правления, при котором главой государства / президентом является кадровый военный, офицер, пришедший к власти в результате свержения гражданского правительства, то есть военного переворота. Принципиальное отличие от военного режима состоит в отсутствии коллегиального органа управления. Военный режим - это более институционализированная форма военного правления. Установлено, что военные диктатуры действительно чаще, чем военные режимы, инициируют войны и вооруженные межгосударственные конфликты, что обусловлено наличием системы «сдержек и противовесов» в форме существования института военной правительственной хунты как коллегиального органа власти. Развязывание международного конфликта военными во власти совпадает с наличием территориального спора между странами. Результаты данного исследования имеют большое значение для понимания того, как международные конфликты могут распространяться и каким образом они могут быть урегулированы.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"/><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>international conflicts</kwd><kwd>war</kwd><kwd>authoritarianism</kwd><kwd>military regimes</kwd><kwd>military dictatorships</kwd><kwd>territorial dispute</kwd><kwd>conflict initiator</kwd><kwd>type of political regime</kwd><kwd>militarism</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>международные конфликты</kwd><kwd>война</kwd><kwd>авторитаризм</kwd><kwd>военные режимы</kwd><kwd>военные диктатуры</kwd><kwd>территориальный спор</kwd><kwd>инициатор конфликта</kwd><kwd>тип политического режима</kwd><kwd>милитаризм</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta><fn-group/></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Ajisebiyawo, A., &amp; Onoyemeakpo, J.
