Document Summary
Security dilemma: measures a state takes to increase it"s own (cid:1) (cid:1) Alliances in opposition to overly powerful states. Liberalism and sd doesn"t deny sd, but can be contained. Liberal institutionalism main argument (cid:1) (cid:1) States can foster cooperative social identities (rather than conflictual) Can essentially be eliminated because not all are the same. Can happen but isn"t just how states interact. 1) threat of su has disappeared, but who knows in 10-15 years there could be a resurgent therefore keep nato around for future threats. 2) increasing allies/footprint of influence; logical to have nato because you can see nato cover more territory and spread your power. 1) facilitates cooperation of states, helps share burden of ir crisis management (states which would interact anyways) 2) pooling resources, can rely on many other allies to chip into the budget and/or forces for collective operations technically, members can spend less on domestic defense opportunity costs.
