International Relations (IR) is the study of the interactions between countries, including the roles of sovereign states, intergovernmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, and multinational corporations. It encompasses a wide range of topics such as diplomacy, conflict, trade, international law, human rights, and global governance. The discipline seeks to understand how political, economic, social, and cultural forces shape the relations between nations and influence global events. It also examines the impact of international policies and actions on domestic affairs and the interconnectedness of global issues. Scholars in international relations analyze patterns of cooperation and conflict, as well as the influence of power dynamics and international norms that govern state behavior. The field is multidisciplinary, drawing from political science, history, economics, sociology, and law, and employs various theoretical frameworks to interpret and predict international interactions.
