International Relations

International Relations (IR) is the study and practice of political, economic, and social interactions between states and non-state actors in the global arena. It encompasses a wide range of issues, including diplomacy, conflict resolution, international trade, human rights, environmental policy, and global governance. The field seeks to understand how countries and organizations interact with one another, the factors that influence those interactions, and the impact of these relationships on global stability and development. IR integrates various disciplines, such as political science, history, economics, sociology, and law, to analyze the complexities of global affairs. It also explores theories such as realism, liberalism, constructivism, and critical theory to interpret state behavior and international processes. Ultimately, International Relations aims to provide insights into how the world works and to address challenges that transcend national borders.
