- John J. Mearsheimer, in full John Joseph Mearsheimer, (born December 14, 1947, New York, New York, U.S.), prominent American scholar of international relations best known for his theory of offensive realism.

After graduating from the United States Military Academy (West Point) in 1970, Mearsheimer served for five years as an officer in the air force, rising to the rank of captain. Unsatisfied with military life, he decided to pursue graduate studies rather than become a career officer. He received a master’s degree (1974) in international relations from the University of Southern California, as well as a master’s degree (1978) and a Ph.D. (1981) in government from Cornell University. He was later a research fellow at the Brookings Institution (1979–80) and a research associate at Harvard University (1980–82). In 1982 he became a professor of political science at the University of Chicago, where he was appointed the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science in 1996.

Like most international relations scholars of his generation, Mearsheimer was deeply influenced by Kenneth Waltz, the founder of the school of international relations known as neorealism. Whereas classical realists such as Hans Morgenthau had traced international conflicts to the natural propensity of political leaders to seek to increase their power, neorealists (or structural realists) such as Waltz located the cause of war in the structure of international relations. In Waltz’s model the absence of an authority above states (the condition of anarchy) forces them to make alliances in order to contain the threats posed by rival powers. The international order, in other words, is determined by the balance of power between states. According to Waltz, the need for security leads states to favour the status quo and to adopt a defensive position toward their competitors. -
