Coinage edit
This article indicates that the term "power politics" was coined in Martin Wight's 1979 book of the same name, but I noticed that there is 1946 book entitled "Scientific Man vs. Power Politics" listed in the Literature section of the article. Doesn't this mean that the term was not coined in Wight's book? Squideshi (talk) 19:48, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
Examples of power politics edit
A section of states and their examples of their usage of power politics should be included, there is a lot of references and sources out there. The Cold War and the politics of the USA and the USSR during this period should have their own section, but is there consensus? Sheodred (talk) 10:58, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
Hegemony? edit
Seems like Power politics is the long way of saying Hegemony. Is there a difference? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.222.139.122 (talk) 17:52, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Isn't assassination a classic tactic? edit
The list of power politics tactics doesn't currently cite sources (certainly not for each item listed), but most of them comport with my general sense of power politics. But "assassination" is not on the list, and I think of it as one of the classic tactics. Having the power to assassinate an enemy head of state, and possibly employing that tactic, is a type of power politics in my understanding, and contrasts severely with diplomacy or multilateral international sanctions. 209.6.225.254 (talk) 06:10, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
