Realists claim that in anarchic international system, states cannot trust each other and they always fear of cheating and thus this makes interstate cooperation difficult to achieve. For Realists, main motivation of states in anarchic international system is survival, i.e. preserving the existence of the state, because of this, states cannot rely on other states or international organizations for their defence and must rely on its own resources for survival, which is called as self-help.

Realists also believe that another factor which makes interstate cooperation difficult to achieve is that states are preoccupied with making relative gains (improvements in a state’s position relative to other states).
