Packet G: Tossup 1

A book titled for these actors claims they are restricted by the “stopping power of water” and that they inspire others to engage in buck-passing and bandwagoning. The “tragedy” of politics (-5[1])defined (-5[1])by these actors titles a book (10[1]-5[2])by John Mearsheimer. (10[1]-5[3])Graham (10[1])Allison (-5[1])argued that a (-5[1])threatened one (-5[1])of these (-5[1])states (10[2]-5[1])tends (-5[1])toward (-5[2])war due to the (10[1])Thucydides (-5[2])trap. (10[3]-5[4])Joseph (-5[1])Nye (-5[1])described the (10[1])diplomatic (10[1]-5[1])influence (-5[1])of these (10[2])states (10[1]-5[1])as (10[1])a (10[1]-5[1])concept’s (10[1])“soft” form. (10[5])There (10[2])is only (10[2])one (10[1])of these (10[2])states (10[3])in a unipolar (10[5]-5[1])international (10[4])order. (10[12])China (10[3])is often (10[1])considered (10[2])an (10[1])“emerging” (10[5]-5[1])one (10[2])of these (10[3])states, (10[11]-5[1])threatening the United (10[1])States’ (10[1])hegemony. (10[3])For 10 points, name these states that dominate (10[1])international (10[1])affairs. (10[2])■END■ (10[18]0[1])
