International Relations
International Relations (IR) is a field of study and practice that explores the political, economic, social, and cultural relationships between countries and other global actors. It examines how nations interact with each other, the impact of international organizations, and the influence of non-state actors such as multinational corporations and non-governmental organizations. IR encompasses various topics, including diplomacy, war and conflict, trade, human rights, and environmental issues, and it seeks to understand the dynamics of power and cooperation on the global stage. The discipline integrates theories from political science, history, law, and economics to analyze and explain international phenomena and inform policy decisions.
