As an academic subject International Relations (IR) is crucial in today’s interconnected world as it helps us understand the complex dynamics of global politics, economics, and society. IR encompasses not only the study of relationships between nation-states but also their interplay with non-state actors such as international organizations, NGOs, and multinational corporations.
