Which of the following does the "balance of power" refer to?

The realist notion that politics itself is not immoral, but amoral (non-moral) due to the fact that states are abstract entities and are therefore not bound by the limits of universal moral principles.

A regulating mechanism at the center of an anarchical environment that leads to a configuration and policies that balance out the will of states to either maintain or overthrow the status quo.

The international system with intricate policies and universal legislations that prioritise morality in an effort to automatically ensure permanent stability and peace on an international level.

The self regulatory mechanism in which more powerful states are determinant in the policies of international relations, while lesser states are reliant on them for security and, in fact, existence.


Yanıt Açıklaması:

The "balance of power" is a mechanism that creates the distinction between anarchy and chaos. While nations try to maintain or overthrow the status quo based on their own aspirations, the necessity for a configuration called the balance of power rises, leading to policies that aim at preserving it. The power relationships between states sustain international order, with the power of states being balanced by each other. Since this process is a result of statesmen policies and international relations, it does not appear automatically but emerges from these policies (which may be subject to change) and serves to provide temporary stability and peace at the international level.
