International Relations

International Relations (IR) is the study and analysis of the relationships between countries, as well as the roles of sovereign states, intergovernmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, and multinational corporations. It encompasses a wide range of topics including diplomacy, conflict, trade, human rights, international law, and global governance. IR examines how entities interact on the global stage, the impact of these interactions on global peace and security, and the ways in which political, economic, and cultural factors influence international dynamics. The field draws from various disciplines such as political science, history, economics, and sociology to understand complex global issues and develop theories that explain international behaviors and trends.
