John J. Mearsheimer
John Joseph Mearsheimer is an influential American political scientist and international relations scholar at the University of Chicago.
He developed the theory of offensive realism, which posits that great powers rationally seek regional hegemony for survival in an anarchic international system.
Mearsheimer's work on China's rise and potential conflict with the United States has garnered significant attention.
His ideas are widely studied and debated in international relations, with a 2017 survey ranking him third among scholars who have greatly influenced the field in the past 20 years.
Mearsheimer is considered the most influential realist of his generation.
