International Relations (IR) is the field of study and practice that examines the interactions and relationships between sovereign states, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and other actors on the global stage. It encompasses a variety of issues including diplomacy, conflict, trade, international law, and globalization. The discipline seeks to understand how political, economic, social, and cultural factors influence the behavior of states and non-state actors in the international system. It explores theories and frameworks, such as realism, liberalism, constructivism, and critical theories, to analyze how power dynamics, security concerns, and cooperation evolve in a complex and interconnected world. Additionally, IR addresses contemporary global challenges, such as climate change, human rights, and terrorism, highlighting the need for cooperative solutions among diverse actors.
