International Relations (IR) is the study of the interactions between countries, including the analysis of foreign policy, diplomacy, conflict, trade, and international organizations. It encompasses the relationships between sovereign states as well as non-state actors such as international corporations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and intergovernmental organizations (IGOs). The field seeks to understand how these entities cooperate, compete, and influence one another on the global stage.

It also considers issues such as security, human rights, environmental concerns, and economic development. Scholars and practitioners in this field analyze both historical and contemporary events to inform our understanding of global relations and to develop strategies for conflict resolution and cooperation.
