Question

What are the choices available to a state when its security is threatened, according to the traditional security perspective?

Answer 1

Answer:

According to traditional notion, in response to a threat of war, a government has three choices to do

1. To surrender when actually confronted by war, but they won’t advertise this policy as their own, so this move is rarely taken

2. To prevent the other side from attacking by promise to raise the cost of war to an unacceptable level, this security policy is called deterrence

3. To defend itself when war actually breaks out so as to deny the attacking country its objectives and to turn back or defeat the attacking forces altogether with limiting or ending war is called defence

Answer 2

Answer:

There are a few choices available to a state when its security is threatened.

Explanation:

A security policy called deterrence can be employed by the state which would prevent the attack of war from other side as they would raise the cost of war to an unacceptable level. The policy which is usually not followed by a state is surrender when challenged by a war. Then a state also has a policy of defense to take as a step against the attack on it. It should aim at ending the war as soon as possible.
