The Overlapping Spheres of Influence Model

The Overlapping Spheres of Influence Model describes how global powers exert influence in the world. Imagine three circles representing the United States, China, and Russia; each sphere shows their areas of political, economic, or military impact. When these spheres overlap, it indicates regions where these powers compete or collaborate. These overlaps shape international relations, conflicts, and alliances. The model helps understand how countries' interests intersect and influence global stability, emphasizing the dynamic and interconnected nature of international power, especially as these spheres grow or shrink over time.
