The basic assumption behind the construction of the major IR theories is that we live in an anarchic world.
Let us think about this concept for a moment: within a country, there is a government, a clear set of laws, a judiciary system and an executive apparatus.
Hobbes[1], Machiavelli and Moregenthau – the most prominent realist scholars – had a clear and pessimistic view of the world. In fact, classical realists viewed States – and human beings – as selfish and egoistic entities whose only goal was power and survival in an anarchical society. For instance, according to the classical scholars, States lived in a status of war against each other and every action was dictated by self-interest and struggle for power.
