The security dilemma is a fundamental concept in international relations theory, particularly within the realm of realist thought. It describes a situation where the actions taken by a state to increase its own security cause reactions from other states, which, in turn, lead to increased tensions and potentially conflict. This dilemma arises because the measures a state adopts to enhance its security—such as building up its military, forming alliances, or securing strategic territories—often appear threatening to other states. These states may then respond by adopting similar measures, leading to an arms race, increased hostility, and a cycle of mutual suspicion and antagonism.

Understanding the dynamics of the security dilemma helps explain why states often find themselves locked in competition and conflict, even when they might prefer peace and cooperation. It also highlights the challenges of achieving security in a way that does not threaten others, suggesting the need for confidence-building measures, arms control agreements, and open communication to mitigate the mistrust that fuels the security dilemma.
