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... |
