What is International relations. The meaning of International relations pronunciation International relations definition International relations How to say International relations

International relations ( IR ) or international affairs ( IA )
— commonly also referred to as international studies ( IS ) or
global studies ( GS ) — is the study of interconnectedness of
politics, economics and law on a global level. Depending on the academic
institution, it is either a field of political science, an interdisciplinary
academic field similar to global studies, or an entirely independent academic
discipline in which students take a variety of internationally focused courses
in social science and humanities disciplines. In all cases, the field studies
relationships between political entities (polities) such as sovereign
states, inter-governmental organizations (IGOs), international non-
governmental organizations (INGOs), other non-governmental organizations
(NGOs), and multinational corporations (MNCs), and the wider world-systems
produced by this interaction. International relations is an academic and a
public policy field, and so can be positive and normative, because it analyses
and formulates the foreign policy of a given state.

As political activity, international relations dates from the time of the
Greek historian Thucydides (c. 460–395 BC), and, in the early 20th century,
became a discrete academic field (no. 5901 in the 4-digit UNESCO Nomenclature)
within political science. In practice, international relations and
international affairs forms a separate academic program or field from
political science, and the courses taught therein are highly
interdisciplinary.

For example, international relations draws from the fields of: politics,
economics, international law, technology and engineering, communication
studies, history, demography, philosophy, geography, social work, sociology,
anthropology, criminology, psychology, gender studies, cultural studies,
culturology, and diplomacy. The scope of international relations comprehends
globalization, diplomatic relations, state sovereignty, international
security, ecological sustainability, nuclear proliferation, nationalism,
economic development, global finance, as well as terrorism and organized
crime, human security, foreign interventionism, and human rights, as well, as,
more recently, comparative religion.
