联盟政治中的安全困境

“安全困境”的概念适用于多极和两极体系中的联盟关系。这一困境涉及支持或不支持盟友之间的选择，以及对陷入困境和被抛弃的恐惧之间的紧张关系。它与对手的安全困境相互作用，在这种困境中，对对手的坚定和和解之间的选择。多极互动是通过对1904-1914年期间的调查来说明的，两极互动是指北约的当代危机。在多极联盟中，联盟的安全困境比在两极联盟中更为严重，并对盟友对对手的政策施加了更多的限制。当代体系中的两难困境的弱点是目前北约冲突持续存在的主要原因。
The concept of the “security dilemma” is applied to alliance relations in multipolar and bipolar systems. The dilemma involves a choice between support or nonsupport of allies, and tension between fears of entrapment and abandonment. It interacts with the adversary security dilemma in which the choice is between firmness and conciliation toward the opponent. The multipolar interaction is illustrated by a survey of the 1904–1914 period, the bipolar by reference to the contemporary crisis in NATO. The alliance security dilemma is more severe, and places more constraints on allies' policies toward adversaries, in multipolar than in bipolar alliances. The weakness of the dilemma in the contemporary system is a major reason for the current persistence of conflict in NATO.
