Abstract
Competition and cooperation have been two sides of the coin of international relations within the length of time. Competition necessarily draws attention to the importance of material capacity. Naturally, cooperation leads vision to the agent-based components. Security as the most valuable commodity in the structure of theoretical framework vitalizes within the discipline for the actor who has a distinct position and distribution of capabilities has marked influence for him. Emphasizing the importance of the agent's identity in shaping phenomena and events, a discipline should be manifested in international relations which provides the lowest identity conflicts and the most intersubjective similarity. Such a discipline creates the auspicious context to vitalize all security requirements. Optimal international relations for each player certainly depends on the issue that “to what extent the security will be achieved?” Paper question is “what is the best framework to security shaping?” Given the multidimensional essence of security and that the material and social aspects have a decisive role in shaping the mentioned issues, the hypothesis of paper is focused on the environment with minimal conflict of identity and highest position for the player which is certainly the appropriate secure environment
