It emphasizes power, security, and national interest as the driving forces behind state actions, often presenting a pessimistic view of human nature and international cooperation. Rooted in ancient political philosophy and developed more rigorously in modern times, realism provides a framework that focuses on the struggle for power and survival in an anarchic world order. The foundations of realism can be traced to classical thinkers such as Thucydides, Machiavelli, and Thomas Hobbes. Thucydides, in his account of the Peloponnesian War, stressed the inevitability of conflict due to fear, honor, and interest. Machiavelli highlighted the importance of pragmatic leadership and the use of power in achieving state objectives, while Hobbes described the “state of nature” as a condition of perpetual insecurity where life was “nasty, brutish, and short.” These philosophical ideas later influenced modern realists who sought to explain international politics through systematic theories. During the twentieth century, especially after World War II, realism emerged as a dominant school of thought with key proponents such as Hans Morgenthau, Kenneth Waltz, and John Mearsheimer shaping its various strands.
