安全困境安全困境的概念揭示了中国和印度之间复杂关系的核心动态，这两个国家在中国与南亚-印度洋地区国家的安全关系上不断拉扯。安全困境的存在，主要集中在中国与除印度以外的南亚和印度洋国家的关系上，揭示了这两个亚洲大国之间根深蒂固的猜疑。本文将从中印两国过去几年的互动中汲取证据，为中印关系中存在的安全困境提供经验证据。国家体系的无政府主义性质导致了安全困境。如果没有更高的权力来保护它，每个国家都对自己的安全负有最终责任，对自己作为国家体系成员的生存负有最终责任。面对这一令人敬畏的责任，各国试图在经济、战略和军事上扩大权力，以便在需要时更好地自卫。但是，通过以这种方式扩大自己的权力，国家会让邻国变得不那么安全。这迫使那些邻国“做最坏的打算”，采取反制措施，增强自己的实力。因此，对安全的共同寻求导致了两个大国都不那么安全的情况。罗伯特·杰维斯指出了与安全困境有关的一些因素，这些因素阻碍了各国合作实现共同希望的普遍安全目标的能力。首先，一个国家的领导人担心，另一个国家目前相对温和、不具威胁性的政策可能会在未来的某个时候变得不那么温和，变得更具威胁性。思想可以改变，新的领导人可以掌权，价值观
A Security Dilemma The concept of a security dilemma casts considerable light on a central dynamic of the complex relationship between China and India the , constant pulling and tugging between those two countries over China's security ties with countries in the South Asian-Indian Ocean region. The existence of a security dilemma, focused on Chinese ties to the South Asian and Indian Ocean states other than India, throws much light on the deep-rooted suspicion between those two Asian powers. This article will draw on evidence from interactions between the two countries over the past several years to make an empirical case for the existence of a security dilemma in Sino-Indian relations. A security dilemma arises out of the anarchic nature of the state system. Without a superior power to protect it, each state bears ultimate responsibility for its own security, for its own survival as a member of the state system. Faced with this awesome responsibility, states attempt to expand their power economically, strategically, and militarily so as to better defend themselves should the need arise. But by augmenting their own power in this fashion, states make neighboring states less secure. This compels those neighbors to "prepare for the worst" by taking counter-measures to enhance their own power. A common search for security thus results in a situation in which both powers are less secure. Robert Jervis identified a number of the factors associated with a security dilemma that impede states' ability to work cooperatively towards a mutually desired goal of general security. First, leaders of one state fear that current, relatively benign, non-threatening policies of another state might, at some future point, become less benign and more threatening.
