SUMMARY
Power is a complex and contested concept, in large part because there are important but distinctive ways to understand how social relations shape the fates and choices of actors. If international relations scholars have erred in their past attempts to understand power, it is by trying to identify and rely on a single conception. The capacities of actors have been traced to the power enjoyed by state and non-state actors in the international political system. The centrality of power to international relations has been examined and it is viewed as the basis of international politics. The capacities of actors are generally the determinants for their relevance within the international system. The cold war era 1945 to 1991 was full of several occurrences among world superpowers. There were disagreements that followed Yalta conferences where a meeting between Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin happened to decide what would happen at the end of the World War II. The disagreement eventually led to decolonization of many countries including African, Asian countries as well as in the Middle East.
