They have different assumptions because of the answers they have towards the four questions.

Domestic interests will matter on how nations will interact internationally. Liberals argue that states are determined by the self- interested, but there are interests beyond power. Liberals have common interests and are able to recognize these interests. They realize that states are going to be scared but, liberals argue that states are more concerned about many different issues. Not all global politics is about zero sum.
