Foundations of International Relations is the study of how countries, international organizations, and other global actors interact within the international system, focusing on issues such as power, diplomacy, conflict, cooperation, trade, and global governance. It explores key concepts like sovereignty, national interest, and anarchy, as well as major theoretical perspectives such as realism and liberalism that explain state behavior and global dynamics. The course objective is to introduce students to these fundamental concepts and theories, develop their ability to analyze world political events, understand historical and contemporary international issues, and apply critical thinking to interpret global relationships and challenges in an interconnected world.
