International Relations (IR) is the study of relations between nationals focusing on political, economic, social and cultural exchanges. It encompasses many different fields of study, including but not limited to: terrorism, globalization, international security, religion, history, diplomatic relations, sustainability, human rights, and global finance.
The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics defines IR as:
"The discipline that studies interactions between and among states, and more broadly, the workings of the international system as a whole. It can be conceived of either as a multidisciplinary field, gathering together the international aspects of politics, economics, history, law, and sociology, or as a meta‐discipline, focusing on the systemic structures and patterns of interaction of the human species taken as a whole."
