186. Abundance in Politics & IR

How do we measure an Individual, State or System has “too much” power?

How are Individuals and Structures of Governance envisioning the acquisition, distribution and removal of Power(s)? If power exists in relation, are humans framing abundance of power through self and collective defeating or thriving modes? 

Why is an abundance of violence in Politics and IR normalized while an abundance of nonviolence, love and empathy is disregarded, if not seen, as incompatible with these fields? 

Is there a “fair” and “nonviolent” way to have an Abundance of Power in Politics and IR that doesn’t bring others the perception of being stripped away from their own power, that doesn’t fuel the notion of Scarcity?
