Paul T.V., Wirtz James J., Fortmann Michael. Balance of power. Theory and practise in the 21st century
Stanford University Press, 2004. 384 p.

Since the 16th century, balance of power politics have profoundly influenced inteational relations. But in recent years—with the sudden disappearance of the Soviet Union, growing power of the United States, and increasing prominence of inteational institutions—many scholars have argued that balance of power theory is losing its relevance. This book examines the current position and future of balance of power dynamics in inteational politics.
In this book, prominent scholars pay special attention to the theoretical and historical criticisms of balance of power theory while empirically assessing its validity at both global and regional levels. The volume also looks at systemic factors favoring or hindering a retu to balance of power politics. It evaluates the challenges posed by subnational actors, such as terrorist groups, and weapons of mass destruction to inteational order. Further, it examines the relevance of balance of power axioms in selected regions: Weste Europe, Easte Europe, East Asia, South Asia, and Latin America.

Oxford University Press. 2011. 285 p. Can international legitimacy operate even in a deformed balance of power, and when there is only one dominant state? Conventionally, hegemony has been perceived as a threat to international society. But how then is international order to be maintained, if this still requires a managerial role on the part of the great powers? IR theory has not taken that problem sufficiently seriously. This study makes a shar...

Gray, Colin S. Hard Power and Soft Power: The Utility of Military Force as an Instrument of Policy in the 21st Century (Strategic Studies Institute 2011 - 72 p. ) Power is one of the more contestable concepts in political theory. In recent decades, scholars and commentators have chosen to distinguish between two kinds of power, hard and soft. The former is achieved through military threat or use, and by means of economic menace or reward. The l...

A more individual focus can demonstrate instead, the wel...

Routldge, 2000. 239 p. At the turn of the millennium, and now after the fall of the Berlin wall, the best way to map the trajectories of contemporary international relations is hotly contested. Is the world more or less ordered than during the Cold War? Are we on the way to a neo-liberal era of free markets and global governance, or in danger of collapsing into a new Middle Ages? Are we on the verge of a new world order or are we slipping back i...
