Arabic term or phrase: الأوزان النسبية
هذا التحسّب من قبل الأطراف الخارجية، والمواكبة الظاهرية للرغبة الأمريكية في الحد من أثر التدخلات الخارجية على سير العملية التفاوضية، لا يعكس طبيعة الصراع وحقيقة الأوزان النسبية لمختلف اللاعبين الخارجيين، لاسيما وأن الدور الأمريكي الحالي في رعاية المفاوضات من شأنه تحجيم النفوذين التركي والروسي في آنٍ معاً.

Hi everyone,

This is from an article about US influence in the current Libyan negotiations.

Does anyone have a better suggestion than my literal "relative weights" for this phrase?

Thanks in advance!

effective relative roles and influence...


Explanation:
The kind of “weight” indicated in the phrase has to do with the influential “role” each of the parties, being involved in the conflict, can bring into play and affect the overall situation.
