The less security one country has, the more secure another is. Remember 4 possible outcomes of game theory (see lect. States have a constant fear of defection. Change the pay off mechanism so defection is no longer more profitable than cooperation. As dd decreases, changes of cc increases (ability to defect/likelihood of defection) High cost of dd can change game to chicken (if you both have outside options) Dc increases cc increases gains are reduced. States calculate chances of defection to determine to cooperate. What to do to increase the likelihood of cooperation. Defense is the status quo , offense is aggressive and unusual. Defence balance is distinguishable when status quo can id each other.
