    Power is important in international politics because it constitutes interactions between states. However, not all uses of power are legitimate, and disobedience may be permitted in some contexts. Exclusive knowledge can be tragic if it is used to exercise power over others or make one feel superior, rather than acting to share knowledge for the benefit of all.
