Abstract
Neo-Realism is an important theoretical framework in the study of international politics. It is considered providing a parsimonious explanation of the phenomenon at the international level. Realism has always been associated with a plethora of the most distinguished and productive theorists of international relations, such as Thucydides, Machiavelli, Hobbes, E.H. Carr, Morgenthau and Kenneth Waltz. There is a growing consensus on the basic features of international politics in the intellectual community of international relations given by realism. There are differences among the realists, but this paper is discussing and critically evaluating the common features of the realist school of thought. Realism has a critically important and academically significant position on the fundamentals of international politics. It is not essentially an exaggeration to say that realist theoretical paradigm has given the framework, which initiated debates in the field of international relations. Therefore, any criticism of realism cannot undermine its significance; it only further strengthens the weak aspect of this predominant approach to the study of international politics
