Solution
- Governments are very sensitive to the balance of power between their country and other countries. They do work hard to maintain a favourable balance of power with other countries especially those with whom they have differences or those with whom they have had conflicts in the past.
- A good part of maintaining a balance of power is building up one’s military power. Although economic and technological power is also important since they are the basis for military power.
