International Relations (also known simply as “IR”) is an independent field of studies that allows students to comprehend, specialize and achieve a wider appreciation of international politics, diplomacy, and international affairs in general. The World Wars during the 20th century and current issues related to territorial disputes, cross-national epidemics and terrorism, along with the emergence and significant roles of international and non-governmental organizations within the context of globalization era, mean that the studies of International Relations as an academic discipline is not only useful but imperative.
