-international system is anarchic
-states are primary actors
-states can seem unitary and rational, valuing SECURITY above all else

them to seek more power to increase their own security, which causes security
dilemmas

drive military power

-anarchy does not lead to fear, self help, or composition of power, it depends on the
social interaction of states
