Abstract
The security dilemma is one of the most important theoretical ideas in international relations (Wheeler and Booth 1992, 29).1 Not surprisingly, in the years since Herbert Butterfield (1950), John Herz (1950; 1966), and Robert Jervis (1976; 1978) first developed the concept, this concept has been extended and applied to “address many of the most important questions of international relations theory and security policy” (Glaser 1997, 172).
