|
Bandwagoning with the most threating power is more common than bandwagoning with the most dominant power. |
|
States will continue to strive for power unless they become a hegemon. |
States are susceptible to balance against dominant power instead of bandwagoning with it and having not more than necessary power for security and survival is the key to a stable international system. This view is known as the defensive realism. Stephen Walt put forward the balance of threat theory according to which states react not to imbalances of power but to an imbalance of threat (Walt, 1987: 263). Thus, they form alliance against the most threatening power which is not always the dominant power in the system. The correct answer is D.
