Examine the salient features of the system approach of Kenneth Waltz.

Kenneth Waltz, a key figure in the field of international relations, developed the "systems approach" to understand global politics, particularly through his theory of structural realism or neorealism. This approach focuses on the structure of the international system and how it shapes the behavior of states. Waltz's perspective represents a shift from earlier theories of international relations that concentrated on individual states’ motives or specific interactions among countries. Instead, Waltz emphasized the overarching structure within which states operate.

### Structural Components of the International System
Waltz's systems approach centers on the idea that the international system is anarchic, meaning there is no central authority above states. Unlike domestic systems that have hierarchies and governing bodies to maintain order, the international system lacks a supreme power. This absence of central authority means that states must operate under conditions of self-help, where each state is responsible for its own survival and security. This anarchy is not synonymous with chaos but denotes the lack of a global government, compelling states to behave in ways that ensure their security and survival.

Waltz identified the structure of the international system as defined by three key elements:
1. Ordering Principle: In the international system, anarchy serves as the ordering principle. All states exist as sovereign entities without a higher governing authority to _________ _______ _______ ________ ______ ___ ________.
