<br/><br/> The security dilemma asserts that both strength and weakness in national security can be provocative<br/>to other nations. If a nation is too strong, this can be provocative since “most means of self-protection<br/>simultaneously menace others.” On the other hand, if a nation is too weak, “great dangers arise if an<br/>aggressor believes that the status quo powers are weak in capability or resolve.”Thus, directly and<br/>indirectly, both strength and weakness can upset the balance of security in international relations.- Reproduced <br/><br/>https://www.jstor.org/stable/26575671<br/>
