| Summary/Abstract |
The paper elucidates basic theoretical points of the functional approach to estimate the correlation between strategic forces of sides in a multipolar world, and specifies the theoretical base of this functional approach with a view to further using the latter in the interests of addressing a broader range of applied problems. It reviews categories of strategic forces balance in coalitions, formulates the concept of the extent of unacceptable damage for opposing coalitions, and substantiates the potential of using the functional approach to tackle direct and inverse problems related to the assessment of strategic forces in coalitions.
