International Relations

International Relations (IR) refers to the study and practice of political, economic, and social interactions among sovereign states and other international actors. It encompasses various theories, frameworks, and approaches that analyze how countries interact, cooperate, and conflict with one another on a global scale. This field examines issues such as diplomacy, war, trade, international organizations, human rights, and global governance. International Relations is interdisciplinary, drawing from history, political science, sociology, law, and economics to understand the complexities of global issues and the behavior of actors in the international system. The discipline aims to explain patterns of global activity, the impact of international policies, and the dynamics of power relations across borders.
