International Relations (IR) is a field of study that focuses on the interactions and relationships between sovereign states, as well as other international actors such as international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and multinational corporations. It examines how these entities interact through diplomacy, conflict, trade, and cooperation, influencing global affairs. The discipline explores theories and concepts that underpin these interactions, such as realism, liberalism, constructivism, and critical theories. It also analyzes the impact of global issues like war, peace, security, human rights, and international law on state behavior and international cooperation. International Relations aims to understand the complexities of global politics and the factors that shape the nature of international interactions, including historical, economic, social, and cultural influences.
