International Relations

International Relations (IR) is the study of the interactions between sovereign states, as well as non-state actors, such as international organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and multinational corporations. It examines how these entities affect global politics, diplomacy, security, economics, and culture. The field covers various aspects, including the analysis of conflicts, cooperation, and power dynamics on the international stage. Researchers in International Relations explore theories such as realism, liberalism, and constructivism to understand state behavior and the complexities of global governance. The discipline also investigates issues like human rights, environmental challenges, terrorism, and international trade, aiming to address the ways in which nations can coexist peacefully and constructively within an interconnected world.
