Krátky popis
How subtler forms of balance-of-power politics can help states
achieve their goals against aggressive powers without wars or arms
races At the end of the Cold War, the United States emerged as the
world's most powerful state, and then used that power to initiate
wars against smaller countries in the Middle East and South Asia.
According to balance-of-power theory-the bedrock of realism in
international relations-other states should have joined together
militarily to counterbalance the U.S.'s rising power. Yet they did
not. Nor have they united to oppose Chinese aggression in the South
China Sea or Russian offensives along its Western border. This does
not mean balance-of-power politics is dead, argues renowned
international relations scholar T.V. Paul, but that it has taken a
different form. Rather than employ familiar strategies such as
active military alliances and arms buildups, leading powers have
engaged in "soft balancing," which seeks to restrain threatening
powers through the use of international institutions, informal
alignments, and economic sanctions. Paul places the evolution of
balancing behavior in historical perspective from the
post-Napoleonic era to today's globalized world.
