Summary

"The central assertion of this book is that states pursue social actions to serve self-identity needs, even when these actions compromise their physical existence. Three forms of social action, sometimes referred to as "motives" of state behavior (moral, humanitarian, and honor-driven) are analyzed here through an ontological security approach."--
