The Tragedy of Great Power Politics by John J. Mearsheimer presents the theory of offensive realism, arguing that the anarchic structure of the international system compels great powers to seek maximum power to ensure survival. According to John J. Mearsheimer, states can never be certain about other states’ intentions, which drives them to prioritize security through power accumulation. This relentless competition produces a world defined by fear, strategic rivalry, and the constant risk of conflict among major powers.

John J. Mearsheimer explains that regional hegemony is the ultimate goal of great powers, as global hegemony is nearly impossible due to geographic constraints. The book analyzes historical cases, showing how balancing behavior, security dilemmas, and power transitions shape international relations. Ultimately, The Tragedy of Great Power Politics concludes that competition and conflict are tragic but inevitable outcomes of great power politics within an anarchic global order.
