Confronting National Security Threats: A Comparative Analysis of Great Power United Kingdom, Middle Power Israel, and Small Power Singapore

Abstract

This paper examines how different nations adapt their national security strategies to address global threats. The United Kingdom, as a great power, employs diplomacy and military interventions to safeguard its interests. Israel, as a middle power, takes a comprehensive approach that includes military action and cybersecurity. Singapore, a small power, focuses on multilateral cooperation and high technology. To interpret the behavior of these countries in international relations, the paper applies theories of realism, liberalism, and constructivism.
