In realist theories of international relations, bandwagoning refers to the act of weaker states joining a stronger power or coalition within balance of power politics.
The term is opposed to balancing, and unlike balancing, is a relatively new term. Bandwagoning was coined by Quincy Wright in A Study of War (1942) and popularized by Kenneth Waltz in Theory of International Politics (1979) (in his work, Waltz incorrectly attributes Stephen Van Evera with coining the term).
Bandwagoning occurs when weaker states decide that the cost of opposing a stronger power exceeds the benefits to be gained from supporting it.
The stronger power may offer incentives, such as the possibility of territorial gain or trade agreements for the weaker states, to induce weaker states to join with it.

When it is said that people are "jumping on GS's 'bandwagon'" it means that people who were not already Golden State fans are now rooting for them just because they are winning. It doesnt really have anything to do with their own fans. Its more about people who are just rooting for them now that they are playing well.

What this means is when a particular team is doing well, more and more people begin to follow them, but only until they start losing. Those of us who are faithful fans loathe these types of people, because they show no loyalty. These people are said to "jump on the bandwagon". We also refer to them as fair-weather fans.

You jump on the bandwagon. A cause or party that attracts increasing numbers of adherents. Like now that the bears are actually IN the super bowl, many people who didn't like them now do.

I CanT GIVE U THE DEFINITION BUT AN EXAMPLE OF "jUMPING" on a banwagon is like when a football team is doing really well so all of a sudden ur running around saying thats ur fav team but when they weren't doing so well u could care less about them. Like which ever team wins the SB every is gonna be syaing that was their fav team.

years ago the circus came to town
they had a parade to get people out to the circus
on one wagon they had the band
people would follow the bandwagon to the circus
so when you want to get someone to go with you you use jump on the band wagon
or follow the bandwagon

It means you follow the herd (MOOOOOOOOOOO) in short you go along with what is popular. If you root for the colts because they are going to the superbowl, even if you don't like that team.
