  relationships between countries, including the
  roles of States, Inter- governmental Organization
  (IGOs), International Non- governmental
  Organization (INGOs), Non-governmental
  Organization (NGOs) and Multinational
  Corporations (MNCs).
• A strict definition of International Relations

  is a far too simplistic and narrow perspective of
  international relations.

  Westphalia, 1648. Established the principle of
  sovereignty as the foundation for relations among
  states
• Up to the late 19th centurylimited focus on the
  study of IR in academic institutions and
  scholarly literature
• Most political theorists dealt with IR as a
  side-kick of domestic politics, or as an appendix
  of other disciplines
• Practice of principal aspects of IR (war,
  diplomacy,, international trade) was widespread,
  but the scientific study of these matters was
  disconnected and relied on different disciplinary
  aspects and methodologies

  two world war which was very danger in their
  destruction of man and material. It is feared
  that a third world war would wipe out the human

  highlight the diversity that prevails among
  scholars regarding the scope of International
  Politics.
