International Relations (IR) refers to the study and practice of political, economic, and social relationships between countries and other actors on the global stage. It encompasses various aspects such as diplomacy, international cooperation, conflict resolution, trade, and global governance. IR examines how nations interact, the impacts of international policies, the role of international organizations, and the influence of non-state actors like multinational corporations and non-governmental organizations. The field seeks to understand the underlying principles and dynamics that govern these interactions, including power dynamics, national interests, ideologies, and global issues such as human rights, security, and environmental challenges. Scholars in international relations may draw upon theories such as realism, liberalism, constructivism, and Marxism to analyze and interpret global affairs. The aim is to provide insights that can contribute to navigating the complexities of international politics and fostering peaceful and cooperative relationships among nations.
