International Relations

International Relations (IR) is the study of the interactions between sovereign states, as well as the relationships between these states and non-state actors, such as international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and multinational corporations. It encompasses a variety of topics, including diplomacy, conflict, trade, international law, and global governance. IR examines how countries cooperate, compete, and influence each other on political, economic, and social issues at the global level. The field incorporates various theories and methodologies to understand and analyze international affairs, including realism, liberalism, constructivism, and critical theories. Ultimately, International Relations seeks to explain the dynamics of power, security, and cooperation in a complex and interconnected world.
