International Relations (IR) is the study of the interactions between sovereign states, as well as the analysis of the relationships among international actors, including organizations, non-governmental entities, and multinational corporations. It encompasses a range of topics, including diplomacy, conflict, trade, international law, human rights, and global governance. IR seeks to understand how states and other entities behave in the international system, the forces that drive their actions, and the outcomes of their interactions. This field also examines the impact of globalization, power dynamics, security issues, and the role of international institutions in facilitating cooperation and managing disputes. Through various theoretical frameworks, such as realism, liberalism, and constructivism, scholars and practitioners aim to explain and predict international behavior, contributing to a better understanding of world affairs and the promotion of peace and stability.
