Indonesian term or phrase: kekuasaan dan adu kekuatan

Doktrin dan Sistem Pertahanan Negara Indonesia tersebut secara tersirat mencerminkan pandangan bangsa Indonesia tentang konsep perang dan damai. “Bangsa Indonesia cinta damai, akan tetapi lebih cinta kemerdekaan”. Bagi bangsa Indonesia, perang merupakan jalan terakhir yang terpaksa harus ditempuh untuk mempertahankan ideologi negara, kemerdekaan dan kedaulatan NKRI. Oleh karenanya, Bangsa Indonesia tidak mengembangkan ajaran tentang kekuasaan dan adu kekuatan, karena hal tersebut mengandung benih-benih persengketaan, permusuhan dan ekspanisonisme.

power and power contests

Explanation:
Masalahnya kalau menerjemahkan "adu kekuatan" lebih harfiah menjadi "contest of strength" artinya kurang tepat, karena lebih mengarah ke perkelahian fisik antara orang. Kalau antara negara, maka "power contest" sudah cocok, seperti di contoh kalimat di bawah. Tetapi kalau begitu, frasenya menjadi agak kurang wajar, karena kata "power" diulangi. Saya rasa masih lumayan enak di telinga, tetapi kalau mau lebih enak lagi, dapat tambah kata sifat yang tersirat sehingga menjadi "military power and power contests". Kalau "kekuasaan" diterjemahkan dengan sinonim lain seperti "force", "might" juga kurang enak di telinga.

Example sentence(s):

How to prevent a power contest in Southeast Asia
What Asia does not want to see is a power contest between the two superpowers in the region.

power and exercise of force

Explanation:

Saya kira, adu kekuatan di sini condong ke kekuatan fisik, karena kekuatan politik sudah lebih kurang sudah terwakili oleh kekuasaan.

Ref: http://www.writework.com/essay/does-rousseau-argue-exercise-...
Jean-Jacques Rousseau argues that the exercise of force (physical power) cannot provide a legitimate basis for social order; some may say that the strongest always win, but how do they win and will they always win? The power produced by force doesn't create duty, only obedience.

power and show of force

Explanation:
kekuasaan di sini saya memaknai 'power' dan adu kekuatan menunjukkan makna yang mengedapankan kekuatan fisik atau dalam hal ini lebih condong kepada pasukan perang dan peralatannya, sehingga adu kekuatan dalam konteks ini saya lebih memilih memaknai 'show of force'.
Dalam kamus Indonesia Inggris oleh John M. Echols dan Hassan Shadily, kekuasaan = power, sedangkan kekuatan = force. Dari kedua kata ini ditambah dengan kata adu yang dalam pengertiannya saling menunjukkan kekuatan fisik. Jadi kekuasaan dan adu kekuatan = power and show of force.

Example sentence(s):

kekuasaan dan kekuatan akan menimbulkan rasa superioritas secara kekuatan otot, sehingga akan cenderung melakukan penindasan kepada pihak lain. Hal ini di Indonesia sangat dihindari karena menjunjung tinggi perdamaian dan keadilan sosial.
