Research the theoretical approach to the ‘Balance of Power’ and how it describes the causes of conflict in the international system.  This question allows you to draw on both the early, theoretical and abstract material, and apply to the topic issues addressed in the latter half of the class.  PLEASE draw heavily on class materials and use outside sources for supporting evidence.  Argue your point of view – there are no wrong answers.  Use standard MLA formatting for your paper, with Times New Roman, 12-point font, and standard margins.  The 6 pages will be content pages (not title pages, bibliography, etc.)  .
