Solution

Studying the survival of agents traditionally means the survival of the state.

Explanation:

Security Studies is a branch of International Relations. At the heart of International Relations is the study of security. The carnage of World War I, and the desire to avoid its horrors, gave birth to the discipline of International Relations in 1919 at Aberystwyth, United Kingdom. Security is concerned with the survival of agents, also known as referent objects.

Traditional approaches to security studies emphasize the sovereign state as the dominant actor, but the discipline is undergoing profound and significant transformations. Traditional beliefs and assumptions are being challenged. It is critical to comprehend these new challenges in order to comprehend the nature of security studies.
