- 2 MODELS of MULTIPOLARITY
- 1). PESSIMISTIC IMPLICATIONS
- These implications are on a WIDER DIFFUSION of POWER amongst GLOBAL ACTORS
- NEOREALISTS argue that this causes CHAOS & INSTABILITY
- MEARSHEIMER (1990) argues this model will CREATE a 'BACK TO THE FUTURE' APPROACH
- This is where MULTIPOLARITY gave RISE to WW1 & WW2 by ALLOWING AMBITIOUS ACTORS to PURSUE EXPANSIONIST GOALS
- Therefore, this could HAPPEN in the FUTURE- as BRIC STATES will BECOME more AMBITIOUS due to their rising power

- 2). SHIFTS of ALLIANCES
- This may make POWER RELATIONS more DRAMATIC & FREQUENT
- OFFENSIVE REALISTS argue that it ENCOURAGES AMBITION & RESTLESSNESS
- E.g. UK: Steel & nuclear power stations- CHINA & FRANCE
- SLOW DOWN of their ECONOMIES
- E.g. UK: Steel & nuclear power stations- CHINA & FRANCE
- Through TRADE, they RELY on EACH OTHER
