Chapter Alliances

The chapter on Alliances explores how countries form formal agreements to work together for mutual benefit, often for defense or economic reasons. These alliances can involve sharing military resources, intelligence, or supporting each other's interests. They are strategic tools that help nations enhance security, influence global affairs, and address common challenges. Alliances can be temporary or long-lasting and are often built on trust, shared values, or strategic needs. The chapter examines their formation, purpose, benefits, and potential risks, emphasizing how they shape international relations and collective security dynamics.
