International Relations (IR) refers to the study and practice of the interactions between sovereign states, as well as other political entities, organizations, and non-state actors on the global stage. It encompasses the analysis of various dimensions, including diplomacy, conflict resolution, international cooperation, trade, and the influence of global institutions such as the United Nations.
IR seeks to understand the dynamics of power, security, economic ties, and cultural exchanges among nations and how these factors shape the behavior of actors in the international system. The field incorporates various theories and paradigms, such as realism, liberalism, constructivism, and critical theory, to explain and analyze global phenomena.
In broader terms, international relations addresses issues such as war, peace, human rights, environmental concerns, and globalization, providing a framework for understanding the complex and interconnected nature of global affairs.
