Abstract	"This book explains the development of the international system's present-day balance of power by exploring three central questions: (1) under what conditions has the international system order evolved from a unipolar system to the current multipolar system? 2) What are its major states? 3) How do weak powers affect great power competition? It puts forward the following hypotheses: 1) if China and Russia are expanding their military, political and economic influence into weaker states globally, then the unipolar American order is unraveling; and 2) if the international system is multipolar, then great power balancing may enhance international security. However, balancing may be made difficult due to weak state aid-seeking behavior. When weak states engage competing great powers, they become spheres of competition.
