Balancing or hard balancing,
in realist theories of international relations, refers
to a state joining a weaker coalition to counter the influence
or power of a stronger coalition. The term is derived
from balance of power. Balancing is opposed to the neologism
bandwagoning.
Balancing occurs when weaker states decide that the dominance
and influence of a stronger state is unacceptable and
that the costs of allowing the stronger state to continue
their policies unchecked is greater than the cost of action
against the stronger state.
Balancing can be internal, in which case the weaker state
engages in a military build up and other internal reallocations
of resources to increase their power with respect to the
stronger state. Balancing can also be external, in which
case multiple weaker states form a coalition against the
stronger state, tilting the balance of power in their
favor... |
