<Ol> <Li> Balance of power theory: States have the goal of preventing a single state from becoming a hegemon, and war is the result of the would - be hegemon's persistent attempts at power acquisition . In this view, an international system with more equal distribution of power is more stable, and "movements toward unipolarity are destabilizing ." However, evidence has shown power polarity is not actually a major factor in the occurrence of wars . </Li> <Li> Power transition theory: Hegemons impose stabilizing conditions on the world order, but they eventually decline, and war occurs when a declining hegemon is challenged by another rising power or aims to preemptively suppress them . On this view, unlike for balance - of - power theory, wars become more probable when power is more equally distributed . This "power preponderance" hypothesis has empirical support . </Li> </Ol> <Li> Balance of power theory: States have the goal of preventing a single state from becoming a hegemon, and war is the result of the would - be hegemon's persistent attempts at power acquisition .
