Summary/Abstract: The lack of historical and praxiological patterns is a major problem for the decision makers of international relations interested in predictions. In this article we used the neural modeling in order to measure the presence of Kantian variables in international relations and to determine certain patterns that can be used in the estimation of future relations between states. Thus, we operationalized, by using the Matlab software, The Copenhagen Security Model through a neural network. The general conclusion of the article is that the structure of the neural network is able to discover important relationships between democracy and conflict. Also, we may conclude that the three Kantian variables are present today in the international relations and their increasing intensity can only have positive effects on international relations.
