== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''Hegemon''' — A single "Leading State" that has enough power to "Set the rules" for the entire international system.
* '''Hegemonic Stability Theory''' — The idea that the world is "More Peaceful" and "More Prosperous" when there is one clear "Hegemon" to enforce the laws and protect trade.
* '''Power Transition Theory''' — The study of "Cyclical Wars" that happen when a "Rising Challenger" approaches the "Established Leader."
* '''The Thucydides Trap''' — Graham Allison's term for the "High Probability of War" when a "Rising Power" (e.g., China) threatens to displace an "Existing Power" (e.g., USA).
* '''Status Quo Power''' — A country that "Likes the current rules" (usually the Hegemon and its allies).
* '''Revisionist Power''' — A country that "Wants to change the rules" (usually the Rising Challenger).
* '''Unipolarity''' — A world with "One" center of power.
* '''Bipolarity''' — A world with "Two" centers of power (e.g., the Cold War).
* '''Multipolarity''' — A world with "Many" centers of power (thought to be the "Most Unstable" system).
* '''Imperial Overstretch''' — When a Hegemon spends "Too much money" on its military and "Too many resources" on global control, causing its "Internal Economy" to collapse.
