International Relations (IR) is the study of the interactions between sovereign states, as well as the roles of non-state actors, international organizations, and transnational entities in the global arena. It encompasses various aspects, including diplomacy, conflict, trade, human rights, and environmental issues, focusing on how countries and other actors engage with one another across borders.
