Question

question 21 (1 point) a self - help international system, ongoing arms races, and a perception of permanent uncertainty about an anarchic system can all contribute to a) the dilemma of the commons. b) the security dilemma. c) security angst. d) the zero - sum dilemma.

Explanation:

In an anarchic international system, self - help, arms races, and uncertainty about security lead to the security dilemma. States take actions to enhance their security, but these actions can be perceived as threatening by others, further escalating the security concerns. The other options do not accurately describe this dynamic. The dilemma of the commons is about shared resources, security angst is a more general feeling, and the zero - sum dilemma is about a situation where one's gain is another's loss, which is not the case here.

Answer:

B. the security dilemma
