1.vital resources. 2..The super powers could launch their weapons and ,troops.3.locations from where they could spy on each other,and 4. Economic support in that many small allies together could help pay for military expenses.

19. What are the constraints on American hegemony today?

Ans.The first constraint is the institutional architecture of the American state itself. A system of division of powers between the three branches of government places significant breaks upon the unrestrained and immediate exercise of military power by the executive branch.

The second constraint on American power is also domestic in nature and items from the open nature of American society. Although the American mass media may from time to time impose or promote a particular perspective on domestic public opinion in the US,there is neverthe less a deep skepticism regarding the purpose and method of government in American political culture. This factor, in the long run, is a huge constraint on US military action overseas.

Third constraint on the US that is perhaps the most important. There is only one organization in the international system that could possibly moderate the exercise of power today, and that is the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). The US has an enormous interest in keeping the alliances of democracies and market economies alive which in return can help the allies in NATO to put constraint in the exercise of US Hegemony.

Ans.First Indias non-alignment was said to be unprincipled. In the name of pursuing its national interest, India it was said, often refused to take a firm stand on crucial international issues.

Second, it is suggested that India was inconsistent and took contradictory postures. Having criticized others for joining alliances, India signed the Treaty of Friendship in 1971 with the USSR for 20 years. This was regarded, particularly by outside observers, as virtually joining the Soviet alliance system. The Indian governments view was that India needed diplomatic and possibly military support during the Bangladesh crisis and that in any case the treaty did not stop India from having good relations with other countries including the US.

23.How did China rise to be an economic superpower? Assess.

Ans.China followed its own path in introducing a market economy :-
