Doesn't work. All it takes is one power hungry dictator to screw it all that up. Peace requires either a stalemate or a benevolent(this is not the right word, someone please help) overpowered force to threaten others to stay in line.

He probably meant "a power not interested in war for war's sake, content with the territorial status quo and preferring diplomacy to use of force, though not beyond use of force if deemed necessary".

Expressing this quality in a single word is a challenge.
