Introduction

Realism in international relations (IR) theory, which is probably the most widely recognized by the general public. This is associated with such familiar terms and concepts like geopolitics, the balance of power, realpolitik, and the meaning of the coup. Realism is known for his attention, and is often confused with, rationality. She is sentimental and pessimistic view of international relations in a constant state of conflict and war, where the power, security and material wealth and opportunity to motivate the states much more than ideas or values.
