A term used to define the state of world politics today: countries competing with each other for world resources, and placing their national interests over the interests of the international community. Power politics consists of a variety of techniques that countries use either to further their own interests, or demonstrate their economic, military, or political might over another party. Some of these strategies include the imposition of sanctions, pre-emptive strikes, nuclear development, and ‘smart power’ diplomacy.
