What is the main emphasis of the realist perspective?
What will be an ideal response?
The realist perspective sees the world largely in terms of power struggles, with weak actors seeking to preserve their interests while strong actors often (but not always) seek to dominate the weaker ones. The most important aspect of international relations is the absence of an overarching source of legitimate power in the world, which means that power is decentralized and states must protect themselves.
