Neutral international power controlled by military (9)
I believe the answer is:
impartial
'neutral' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'international power controlled by military' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'international' could be 'i' (abbreviation eg in IMF) and 'i' is located in the answer.
'power' could be 'art' (art is a kind of power) and 'art' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
(Other definitions for impartial that I've seen before include "Objective" , "Unbiased" , "Fair, unprejudiced" , "Disinterested" , "Treating all rivals equally" .)
