Detailed explanation-1: -Realists believe that sovereign states are the principal actors in the international system. International institutions, non-governmental organizations, multinational corporations, individuals and other sub-state or trans-state actors are viewed as having little independent influence.
Detailed explanation-2: -Realism (including neorealism) focuses on abiding patterns of interaction in an international system lacking a centralized political authority. That condition of anarchy means that the logic of international politics often differs from that of domestic politics, which is regulated by a sovereign power.

Detailed explanation-4: -With this caveat then, the main assumptions of realism are: state-centricity; the state as a unitary, rational actor; the notion of power; the primacy of national security issues; and the emphasis on structure.
