Collective Security in International Relations: A Comprehensive Overview
Collective security is a crucial concept in international politics, aimed at maintaining peace and preventing aggression among nations. This system calls for joint action to counter threats to global peace, originating post-World War I with the League of Nations.

Emphasizing strength and unity, collective security remains a cornerstone in global diplomacy.
