International Politics

International Politics refers to the study and practice of political relations between sovereign states and other international actors. It encompasses the examination of power dynamics, diplomacy, conflict, cooperation, and global governance. This field analyzes how nations interact, the formation of international policies, the influence of international organizations (such as the United Nations), and the role of non-state actors (like multinational corporations and non-governmental organizations) in shaping political outcomes on a global scale. Key themes include international security, human rights, trade relations, environmental issues, and the impact of globalization. Ultimately, international politics seeks to understand and explain the complexities of global interactions and the resulting implications for both national and global affairs.
