Kissinger's balance of power theory

Kissinger's balance of power theory emphasizes that international stability is maintained when great powers(such as nations) actively work to prevent any single state from becoming too dominant. He believed that clear, strategic diplomacy and shifting alliances help create equilibrium, discouraging aggressive expansion and encouraging responsible behavior. This approach aims to prevent conflicts by ensuring that power is distributed in a way that no one nation can overpower others, promoting peace and stability through strategic diplomacy and political influence rather than military conquest alone.
