Many political scientists symbolically consider the concept of the balance of power central to a solid understanding of classical realism. As TV Paul (2004) explains, the common form of the balance of power appears as a system of alliances in which stronger nations dissuade their weaker counterparts from acting belligerent (Paul, 2004). This symbiotic concept of balancing power, however, is not an intrinsic thought and has appeared specifically in the modern era. Its entry into the world of international politics represented a fundamental paradigm shift in which it became necessary to reevaluate our systematic understanding of the social and political world Wendt (2006). The questions focused on the basic concepts that pushed the system further and further forward, for example: who created the system, how does such a system work, what led to such political organizations, and how could a state theoretically enter the system. Hume, an ancient and respected theorist, extensively analyzed the relationship between states and the idea of ​​balance of power theory. Similar to Hume, international relations thinkers, such as Spykman, Wolfers, and Morgenthau, became instrumental in realizing the concept. For brevity, thinkers have spent much time reflecting on the multiple forms of the theory to the extent that they have produced a semi-coherent discourse upon which its modern form operates. The establishment of the discourse of the discipline has not firmly cemented its fundamental concepts. As such, various forms have appeared, such as the balance between great powers and superpowers, which have further fractured its theoretical basis. Jack S.
