International Relations

International Relations (IR) refers to the study and practice of political, economic, and social interactions between sovereign states and international organizations. It encompasses a wide range of topics, including diplomacy, conflict resolution, international law, globalization, trade relations, and the role of non-state actors such as multinational corporations and non-governmental organizations. The field examines how countries interact with each other and how these interactions are influenced by historical events, cultural exchanges, and ideological differences. It seeks to understand the mechanisms that drive international cooperation and conflict, the impact of global issues like climate change and terrorism, and the ways in which power dynamics shape the relationships between different nations. International Relations employs various theories and methodologies to analyze global issues, making it a multidisciplinary field that draws on history, politics, economics, sociology, and law.
