The Balance of Power in International Relations
(2020)
  • Fathi Habashi
Abstract
The balance of power in international relations is defined that the states may secure their survival by preventing any one state from gaining enough military power to dominate others. In other words,  if one state becomes much stronger, then its neighbors will unite in a defensive coalition. A number of wars stemmed, at least in part, from the desire to maintain the balance of power. Examples are given.
