Power transition theory is a theory about the nature of war, in relation to the power in international relations.[1][2][3] The theory was first published in 1958 by its creator, A.F.K. Organski, in his textbook, World Politics (1958).
According to Organski:
An even distribution of political, economic, and military capabilities between contending groups of states is likely to increase the probability of war; peace is preserved best when there is an imbalance of national capabilities between disadvantaged and advantaged nations; the aggressor will come from a small group of dissatisfied strong countries; and it is the weaker, rather than the stronger power that is most likely to be the aggressor.[4]
