International Relations (IR) is a field of study and practice that examines the interactions between sovereign states, as well as between various non-state actors, such as international organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and multinational corporations. It encompasses the analysis of political, economic, and social relationships on a global scale, addressing issues such as diplomacy, conflict, security, trade, and human rights.
