Tossup

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 defined by these actors titles a book by John Mearsheimer. (10[1])Graham Allison argued that a threatened one (-5[1])of these (-5[1])states tends toward war due to the (10[1])Thucydides trap. Joseph Nye described the diplomatic influence of these states as a concept’s “soft” form. There is only one of these states (10[1])in a unipolar international (10[1])order. (10[1])China (10[1])is often considered an “emerging” one of these states, threatening the United States’ hegemony. For 10 points, name these states that dominate international affairs. ■END■ (10[1])
