War has often been used to resolve conflicts between states. Although it is seen by most, if not all, states to be used as a last resort to solve disputes, the number of wars that states engage in is still high.
I believe that the best way to maintain the balance of power in the international system is through the conclusion of treaties. Although the process takes long for treaties to be concluded, those that are binding must be able to maintain the balance of power. Agreements on the elimination of the use of nuclear arms may be able to prevent war from happening.
It is also important to communicate with other states. Rather than attacking another state immediately through the media or other means that may gain immediate attention and may become the source of ire for the other state, it would be much better to simply fix the situation through bilateral talks between leaders and cooperation.
