	Power politics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Power politics is a state of international relations in which sovereigns protect their own interests by threatening one another with military, economic, or political aggression.
		Power politics is essentially a way of understanding the world of international relations: nations compete for the world's resources and it is to a nation's advantage to be manifestly able to harm others.
		Techniques of power politics include, but are not limited to, conspicuous nuclear development, pre-emptive strike, flmail, the massing of military units on a border, the imposition of tariffs or economic sanctions, bait and bleed and bloodletting, hard and soft balancing, buck passing, covert operations, and asymmetric warfare.

	POWER & POLITICS (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Power is interpersonal (or intergroup) relationship in which one individual (or group) can cause another individual (or group) to take an action that she (or it) would not otherwise take.
		In a situation in which power is being exerted there are two points of view: the one exercising power and the one on the receiving end of the power play.
		Politics are those activities taken within organizations to acquire, develop, and use power and other resources to obtain one's preferred outcome in a situation where there is uncertainty of outcome.

		The measures promised typically entail an expansion of government power, but the constituencies being courted never expect to bear the brunt of that expansion.

	The Reemergence of Balance-of-Power Politics
		The instability of the new era did not stem primarily from the emergence of “irrational” non-state actors that were prepared to engage in “asymmetric warfare”; against conventionally powerful state actors, though many Beltway intellectuals made their names painting terrorists as the greatest threats to global peace and stability in the post-Cold War era.
		The balance of power among states is the subject of John Mearsheimer’s magnum opus The Tragedy of Great Power Politics.
		As was the case in Napoleonic Europe, lesser powers may calculate that a posture of compliance or subservience may be necessary in the short-term, but they know that it is disastrous as a long-term strategy, for it is simply an invitation to more aggression.

	GeoInvestor: Power Politics: Drawing Lessons from California's Electricity Crisis
		Distribution of power to end-users effectively served as a barrier to entry -- i.e., the cost and disruption of wiring neighborhoods or whole cities to compete with an existing utility couldn't be justified, even in the unlikely event that such competition were permitted by state regulators and local officials.
		The power produced by these specialized units, known as peakers, is expensive, because all the capital and operating costs of these generators must be recouped in the relatively few hours (generally less than 100) that they are in operation each year.
		Furthermore, to require a power plant that meets federal environmental standards to cease operation or be modified or replaced with a combined-cycle plant within three years also undercuts the act's aim to improve electricity capacity and adds unnecessary costs.

	Balance of power (politics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In parliamentary politics, balance of power usually refers to the position held by one political party, or a coalition of minor parties, whose support of a minority parliament, can give a major party enough votes to be able to form a stable government.
		In federations, the term "balance of power" is used in reference to which level of government is favoured in the division of power.
		The Commonwealth of Australia is an example of a federation in which the balance of power has shifted in favour of the central (federal) government; although the states were constitutionally intended to be preponderant, the federal government has become dominant through various means.

	The politics of power
		eforms in the power sector continue to be perceived as the responsibility of the state governments and despite the central government having got the mandate to push reforms by enacting the Electricity Act, 2003, the sector is far from improving.
		While the ministry of power has come up with some significant initiatives such as the formation of state regulatory commissions and guidelines for competitive bidding, the government is under pressure to extend the time-frame for introducing competition in the sector, the first step being the unbundling of the state electricity boards.
		No substantive progress has been achieved as far as the ministry of power's initiatives are concerned, and the much-publicised incentives under the accelerated power development and reforms programme have failed in getting the states stick to the agreed time-frame.

		Ties with neighbor Malaysia have been strained by historical conflict, territorial and resource disputes, and security uncertainty; with Kuala Lumpur engaged in a program of defense modernization and armament, there is immense pressure on the Indonesian government to defend its security position by doing likewise.
		The geographical proximity of rising power China, furthermore, along with the direct proximity Singapore (which has the most sophisticated and powerful military forces in the region), make Indonesia’s geopolitical situation particularly precarious.

		Thus, the use of organizational politics suggests that political activity is used to overcome resistance and implies a conscious effort to organize activity to challenge opposition in a priority decision situation.
		The political frame is an excellent tool for examining the concept of organizational politics and makes a number of assumptions about organizations and what motivates both their actions and the actions of their decision makers.
		Power is attractive because it confers the ability to influence decisions, about who gets what resources, what goals are pursued, what philosophy the organization adopts, what actions are taken, who succeeds and who fails.
