Relative power, as opposed to absolute power, is the perveived amount of power one person or entity has in relation to another person or entity. Its a term applied to international relations theory. Some Scholars argue that states compete for relative power while others argue that states compete for absolute power. It is my belief that states are primarily concerned with relative power, that is, how much power a particular state has in relation to another.
