CEVAP:

International security regimes differ from other types of international regimes for four reasons: 
• First, security issues have a higher degree of competitiveness between states than other issues. Conflicts and wars are inherently a zero-sum game.
• Second, the costs of benefits and errors are much higher in the security realm. States are almost impossible to get a second chance to fix their false policy choices. If states delay their responses, results may also be devastating.
• Third, since it is difficult to separate defensive and offensive motives in security policy choices, both status-quo and nonstatus quo states may engage in a similar behavior to change or maintain the balance of power.
• Finally, international actors are forced to behave under a high degree of uncertainty to detect and interpret the behavior of other actors in the security arena (Jervis, 1983).
