International Relations (IR) is the study of the interactions, relationships, and political dynamics between sovereign states, as well as between international organizations and non-state actors. It encompasses a wide range of issues including diplomacy, war, trade, international law, human rights, environmental policy, and global governance. The field analyzes how countries engage with one another, the impact of national interests and power structures, and the role of international institutions in facilitating cooperation and managing conflict. IR is multidisciplinary, drawing from political science, history, economics, sociology, and law to understand the complexities of global affairs and the behavior of various actors on the world stage. Through this lens, scholars and practitioners aim to address global challenges and promote peace, stability, and development.
