  1. balance of power

    Balance of power refers to a state of stability or equilibrium between rival forces, countries, or parties. In international relations, it depicts a situation where nations of the world have equal and relatively equitable power, preventing any single nation from dominating the others. In politics, it may refer to the distribution of power among different branches of government, ensuring that no one branch can supersede the others. Balance of power encourages cooperation, diplomacy, and prevents autocracy or monopolistic tendencies.
