With discussion of the evolution and the definition of the security study, we strive to describe the content of "security dilemma" and then figure out the external surroundings and internal factors, which help to cause "security dilemma" both inside and outside the alliance, in the processes that a state pursue its national security by co- operating with allied states.2.The analysis the relationship of the German-American security alliance with "security dilemma". Using the chart of general survey of "security dilemma" invented by German scholar Herbert Dittgen, we explain the Relationship of German-American alliance before and after the Reunification of Germany by adopting the analytical norms in the chart, and looking for examples to support the explanation.3.The factors of Continuation & Change of the German-American alliance. Under the circumstances of German Reunification and the collapse of Soviet Union, we analyze the necessity of the continuation of the German-American alliance, and the factors that cause change of the originally asymmetric relationship between these two countries, and then, we prospect the further cooperation in the future.We derive from the study that, with the gradual growth of nationalstrength and the desire to promote European integration, Germany will no longer simply rely on the alliance with United States, which is not tend to provide protection to Germany unilaterally as well because ofthe recession of American national strength. With the growth and decline of the relative strength of the two states, the factors origin-ally formed from asymmetric relation of alliance that cause "securitydilemma" is out of existence. On the contrary, the two countriesshould make the most of the mutual adventages, and continue the co-operation on the foundation of mutual trust and benefit.
