Neorealisme ofensif

Neorealisme ofensif adalah teori struktural yang termasuk dalam mazhab neorealis dan pertama kali dipaparkan oleh John Mearsheimer. Teori ini percaya bahwa sifat sistem internasional yang anarkis membuat negara-negara memiliki perilaku agresif dalam politik internasional. Teori ini berbeda dengan neorealisme defensif-nya Kenneth Waltz. Para neorealis ofensif menyatakan bahwa negara-negara besar adalah revisionis yang hendak memaksimalkan kekuasaannya dengan mengutamakan pengalihan tanggung jawab ketimbang penyeimbangan saat berusaha mendominasi sistem internasional. Neorealisme ofensif memberi kontribusi alternatif penting bagi studi dan pemahaman hubungan internasional, tetapi banyak yang mengkritik teori ini.
