В статье прослеживается, как в современной теории международных отношений меняется представление о балансе сил. Классическая идея сдерживания чрезмерной концентрации мощи по-прежнему помогает объяснять международную политику, но нынешние практики балансирования уже не сводятся к военной сфере. Технологическое соперничество, экономическая взаимозависимость, международные объединения и возрастание роли региональных держав делают связь между ресурсами и влиянием гораздо менее прямой. На этом фоне обсуждается спор об одно-, би- и многополярности. В итоге баланс сил все чаще понимается как подвижное сочетание возможностей, зависимостей и коалиционных связей.

The article traces how the balance-of-power idea has changed in contemporary international relations theory. Classical balancing still matters, but present-day practice reaches far beyond military competition. Technological rivalry, economic interdependence, international groupings, and the growing role of regional powers all make the link between resources and influence more complex. In the debate over unipolarity, bipolarity, and multipolarity, balance now looks less like a fixed state and more like a shifting configuration of capabilities, dependencies, and coalition ties.
