The paper looks at the theoretical underpinnings of the balance of power in today’s international relations applying the theory of structural realism to interpret the behaviour of the USA, China, Japan, Russia and the European Union. International opposition to the US superpower status is considered questioning the existence of American hegemony in the currently multipolar world.
