International Relations examines the interconnected political, social, cultural and economic frameworks governing global affairs. This discipline investigates the historical evolution of international systems while analyzing key players, governing bodies, and operational mechanisms. Central to this study is the examination of sovereign states and their interactions within an anarchic international system. Students critically assess the dynamics influencing state behavior - from conflict triggers to cooperative frameworks - within our increasingly interconnected yet divided world. The curriculum progresses from foundational theories and historical context in first year to advanced exploration of international security, global governance, political economy, and legal frameworks in subsequent years. This comprehensive approach illuminates how international institutions shape worldwide policy decisions.
