Unreferenced date February 2008 Offshore balancing is a strategic concept used in Realism in international relations realist analysis in international relations . The term describes a strategy where a great power uses favored regional powers to check the rise of potential hostile powers. It arguably permits a great power to maintain its power without the costs of large military deployments around the world. It can be seen as the informal empire analogue to federalism in formal ones for instance the proposal for the Imperial Federation in the late British Empire It was primarily used during the Cold War between the US and Soviet Union. According to political scientist John Mearsheimer in his University of Chicago American Grand Strategy class, offshore balancing is the strategy used by the United States in the 1930s and also in the 1980 1988 Iran Iraq war. Mearsheimer argues that when the United States gave Lend Lease aid to Britain in the 1930s, the U.S. was engaging in offshore balancing by being the arsenal of democracy, not the fighters for it. This is consistent with offshore balancing because the U.S. initially did not want to commit American lives to the European conflict. The United States supported the losing side Iraq in the Iran Iraq war to prevent the development of a regional hegemon , which could ultimately threaten U.S. influence. Furthermore, offshore balancing can seem like isolationism when a rough balance of power in international relations exists, which was the case in the 1930s.

It interlinked with the major Rip Curl Pipeline Masters Rip Curl Pro surfing event, held at nearby Bells Beach, Victoria Bells Beach . The policy reason behind starting the festival was to keep the youth entertained and off the streets of Torquay while the contest was on. Ticketholders had free admission to the Pro, significantly boosting its attendance. The festival reached its peak in 2000, when it sold a capacity of 20,000 tickets. However, it was plagued by a small group of local residents who campaigned vociferously against the festival. When some of their demands, such as turning the music off at midnight, went unheeded, they began taking legal avenues. This resulted in the festival s inability to obtain a liquor license in 2001, and marked the end of their reign in Torquay. They moved the event to the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds home of the Big Day Out the following year, but the event was not successful, drawing a crowd of only 10,000. In 2002, attempts were made to resurrect the festival in Torquay, and after a string of appeals, a liquor license was granted. However, it had taken so long to obtain the licence that the organisers claimed they did not have time to book acts, and plans for any more festivals were cancelled.
