Keywords:

A main idea in neorealism is that the international system is anarchic, meaning there is no global authority to enforce rules or protect states (Waltz, 1979). Because of this, states focus on their own security to survive. In this environment, mistrust shapes decisions, and even allies stay wary of possible future threats. As a result, states tend to rely on themselves and focus on security rather than cooperation

Abstract

Neorealism, or structural realism, is a key theory in International Relations. It focuses on how states act in a world without a central authority, highlighting the importance of the international system’s structure rather than domestic politics or individual leaders. Although neorealism pays less attention to internal factors, some scholars still examine how leadership and domestic politics can shape state actions within this framework. This paper discusses the main ideas of neorealism and looks at how they apply to real-world global politics
