Abstract
This essay will attempt to provide an in-depth analysis of the concept of collective security and point out some necessary preconditions for its successful application in the future. It will include a theoretical analysis of a number of models of the international system and theories of conflict in each model, as well as a critique of the models. We will also analyze the history of past efforts at collective security, examining their successes and attempting to explain their failures. The essay then moves to a section on some anticipated sources of instability in the Post-Cold War environment. We will conclude with a summation of the first three sections which will attempt to draw some conclusions about the future of collective security and its viability in the years to come.
