International Affairs

International Affairs refers to the study and practice of relationships between countries, encompassing the politics, economics, and security issues that transcend national borders. This field involves the analysis of how countries interact with one another, the influence of global organizations, the impact of international law, and the role of non-state actors such as multinational corporations and non-governmental organizations.

International Affairs also examines global challenges such as war, diplomacy, trade, human rights, environmental issues, and conflict resolution. It seeks to understand the underlying factors that shape international relationships, including cultural, social, historical, and economic contexts.

Professionals in this field may engage in diplomacy, policymaking, international development, or research, often working within government bodies, think tanks, international organizations like the United Nations, and non-profit sectors. The objective of International Affairs is to promote peaceful coexistence, mutual understanding, and cooperation among nations to address global issues effectively.
