Course Explanation
What Is International Relations?
International Relations is the study of political, economic, legal, military, and social interactions across national borders. It examines relations between states as well as the roles of international organizations, companies, social movements, armed groups, and other non-state actors.
The field investigates war and peace, diplomacy, foreign policy, international institutions, security, trade, human rights, development, migration, globalization, regional politics, and environmental challenges.
International Relations also uses different theories to explain global events. Realism emphasizes power and security, liberal approaches examine cooperation and institutions, constructivism studies ideas and identities, while critical perspectives investigate hierarchy, inequality, political economy, and historical structures.
