International Relations (IR) is the study of the interactions between sovereign states, as well as between states and non-state actors such as international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and multinational corporations. It encompasses a range of activities, including diplomacy, conflict resolution, trade, and the formulation of foreign policy. The field analyzes how states and non-state actors pursue their interests in a global context, considering factors such as power dynamics, economic relationships, cultural exchanges, and security concerns. IR also examines the impact of international laws and norms on global interactions. By understanding these relationships, scholars and practitioners aim to promote peace, stability, and cooperation among nations.
