THE BALANCE OF POWER FROM THE REALISTS PERSPECTIVE
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2010, Vol 36, Issue 3
Abstract
The present article assumes that the idea of „balance of power” represents one of the fundamental concepts for the area of International Relations, not only from the perspective of its theory but also from the one of its practice. The analysis is focused on the perspectives of the realist and non-realist authors who approached this issue and undertakes a cursory survey of some of the most important theoreticians of the “balance of power” concept – Hans Morgenthau, Hedley Bull, Kenneth N. Waltz and John Mearsheimer. There are pointed out the peculiarities of their approaches, but also the common aspects of their perspectives – the “balance of power” is interpreted as the capacity of the international system to compensate the changes in some states’ behavior in order to maintain the state of the international system unchanged or to ensure that it will have a slow evolution.
