Parties can sustain or realign a balance of power in four ways:
- Attraction – Increasing the perceived value of the resources you hold can shift the balance of power in your direction.
- Consolidation – You can increase your power over other people by limiting their access to alternate sources for the things they value.
- Withdrawal – Those in the lower positions can rebalance the scales by spurning what more powerful parties offer.
- Expansion – Other diamond sellers also diluted De Beers’s pre-eminence by increasing the number of alternative sources for diamonds, from new mines in Canada to new techniques for creating synthetic diamonds.
