Neorealism is structured into two spheres. One is the concept that states act defensively, and the other is that states run offensively. Kenneth Waltz theorises that states operate defensively basically because, at his time in the mid-twentieth century, the world was in the Cold War, so states were precariously creating armies in this standoff against each other, with both sides, the Soviets and the United States of America, were both in this arm wrestle to outdo each other, so there was a defensive stalemate. John Mearsheimer theorised that states act offensively, and his writings are much more current day and he writes critiques on neo-liberalism particularly critiques of the U.S.A. because of them acting very aggressively in the last seventy or so years, seeking to exert their influence in many conflicts and gain alliances in every sphere of the world in an attempt at world domination.
