In the realm of international relations, the security
dilemma looms as a formidable challenge, exemplified by the intricate interplay
between a nation’s military budget increases and its neighbouring countries’

apprehension and contribute to regional instability. The question at hand is
whether the pursuit of heightened security measures inadvertently engenders a
chain reaction of fear and defence buildup among neighbouring states.
Understanding this complex dynamic is essential, as it reveals how seemingly
