International Relations

International Relations (IR) is the study of the relationships and interactions between sovereign states, as well as between non-state actors such as international organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and multinational corporations. It encompasses various dimensions, including political, economic, social, and cultural factors that influence global engagement and cooperation. The field examines issues such as diplomacy, conflict, trade, human rights, environmental concerns, and security, aiming to understand the complexities of international dynamics and the impact of domestic policies on global affairs. Theoretical approaches within IR include realism, liberalism, constructivism, and feminist theories, each offering different perspectives on how states and other actors behave on the world stage. Overall, international relations seeks to analyze how nations interact, manage conflicts, and collaborate to address common challenges in an increasingly interconnected world.
