Security Dilemma
Security Dilemma : A condition in which states find themselves because every measure taken to make themselves more secure may simply urge other states to respond in such a manner that all states end up feeling less secure and more anxious. The security dilemma arises because states will never know with absolute certainty what the intentions and capabilities are of other states. Realists believe there is nothing that can be done to overcome this dilemma. Liberals believe confidence and security-building measures may open opportunities for going beyond the security dilemma.
