International Relations

International Relations (IR) is the study of the interactions between countries, including the roles of states, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and multinational corporations. It encompasses a broad range of topics such as diplomacy, conflict resolution, trade, international law, human rights, and global governance. IR examines how states cooperate and compete, the impact of policies on global stability, and the influence of culture and ideology in international affairs. It draws upon theories and concepts from various disciplines like political science, economics, history, and sociology to understand the complexities of global interactions. The field plays a crucial role in formulating foreign policy and addressing global challenges such as war, peace, security, and development.
