Abstract: Power it's in the middle of the international system. The behavior of each state and the dynamism

of the international system rise in the structu re and the distribution of the global power. Power represents the

keystone of the international relationships. All the realistic theories consider that the worries about power, the

balance of the power, the dynamism of the power, represents the engine of the international business. Also, it

represents a basic instrument, if it isn’t the only one, in order to achieve th e national interests’ goals. As a

result, realistic theories posit that the states are in a constant competition to achieve the power.
