“…Countries worldwide have been applying a range of democratic values while examining the urgency of democratic life in society. Any problems that arise are discussed to find a solution, and any crucial decision is made after A discussion, thus minimizing potential conflicts among the members of society [11], [12]. One of the reviewed papers reports that 134 countries between 2007 and 2016 show that democracy is not necessarily clean.…”

The democracy that occurs today is considered by the community as a procedural democracy which is seen in fact as the meaning of democracy is often only a tool for the interests of certain groups which are far from the rules of local wisdom which are full of life philosophy in building an ideal village community. The purpose of this study is to analyze the transformation of democracy and local wisdom in the development of rural communities during the crisis. This study uses a systematic literature review approach with the PRISMA method. Based on the screening results, 25 articles were extracted 4 times and then downloaded from each database. The results of the literature review show that local wisdom is wisdom that is passed down from generation to generation, sourced from a combination of knowledge and experience in certain locations. Then it becomes a collective idea in society in the form of knowledge, belief, understanding, or insight as well as customs or norms, local wisdom guides human behavior in the life of the community environment. The real form of the transformation of democracy and local wisdom can be seen through changes in the character of local communities that are adaptive, participatory, transparent, accountable and uphold the culture of gotong royong in a pluralistic life order so that there is greater public acceptance according to the nature of democracy which is the system chosen to embrace all parties.

“…For example, a recent analysis of patterns of conflict among 186 countries over a 42-year period found the statistical link between democracy and peace to be five times stronger than that between smoking and lung cancer 24 . Until now it has been assumed that democratic peace relies on uniquely human institutions [25][26][27] . However, in principle the logic of democratic peace could apply to intergroup conflict among any biological groups that exhibit shared or collective decision making, suggesting that the hypothesis may have much broader scope across other taxa.…”

A major goal in evolutionary biology is to elucidate common principles that drive human and other animal societies towards war or peace. One idea proposed to account for differences between human societies is the "democratic peace" hypothesis, which suggests autocracies are more warlike than democracies because leaders can pursue fights for private gain. Given that animals can make autocratic or democratic collective decisions, we consider whether the logic of democratic peace may apply across taxa. We adapt the classic Hawk-Dove model to consider conflict decisions by groups rather than individuals, finding support for the democratic peace hypothesis without mechanisms involving complex human institutions. We suggest that the degree to which collective decisions are shared may explain variation in the intensity of intergroup conflict in nature.

A major goal in evolutionary biology is to elucidate common principles that drive human and other animal societies to adopt either a warlike or peaceful nature. One proposed explanation for the variation in aggression between human societies is the democratic peace hypothesis. According to this theory, autocracies are more warlike than democracies because autocratic leaders can pursue fights for private gain. However, autocratic and democratic decision-making processes are not unique to humans and are widely observed across a diverse range of non-human animal societies. We use evolutionary game theory to evaluate whether the logic of democratic peace may apply across taxa; specifically adapting the classic Hawk-Dove model to consider conflict decisions made by groups rather than individuals. We find support for the democratic peace hypothesis without mechanisms involving complex human institutions and discuss how these findings might be relevant to non-human animal societies. We suggest that the degree to which collective decisions are shared may explain variation in the intensity of intergroup conflict in nature.
