In the traditional view of security, why do most threats to a country’s security come from outside its borders?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option 3 - In the international system, there is no central authority capable of controlling the behavior of different countries.
In the traditional view of security, then, most threats to a country’s security come from outside its borders. That is because the international system is a rather brutal arena in which there is no central authority capable of controlling behavior. Within a country, the threat of violence is regulated by an acknowledged central authority — the government.
