    Significance of IR

    International Relations
    Significance of the IR
    • International relations are an exceptionally
    important aspect of citizenship in a global society.
    – As our world becomes smaller and smaller through
    communication technology,
    – Rapid air transportation and a complex international
    economy, the value of peaceful and cooperative
    relationships between nations is increasingly important.
    • Countries need to communicate to survive.
    – All nations depend on trade, and all nations have to
    interact with others on occasion. Even isolated nations,
    such as North Korea, are forced to communicate with
    their neighbors. Foreign relations are based on this
    international communication.
    Continuous
    • Poor foreign relations can lead to horrific consequences.
    – World War I, for example, is largely due to Germany's rapid mounting
    the role of the most powerful nation in Europe. Many experts believe
    that better relations between Germany, France and England could
    have prevented one of the most destructive wars the world has ever
    seen.
    • Modern foreign relations also depend on cultural
    understanding.
    – Individuals from different cultures have different values and beliefs,
    and politicians and other foreign representatives are not immune to
    these feelings.
    – By learning about other cultures and how to interact with them,
    politicians and diplomats can make exchanges more productive and
    beneficial. As the developing world continues to grow, new countries
    are becoming bigger players on the international stage. These nations
    are expected to have a profound impact on foreign relations in the
    Significance of the IR

    organizations (such as the United Nations and the European
    Union);
    – The activities of non-governmental organizations (such as the Red
    Cross, Amnesty International and Oxfam);
    – The significance of new challenges to international peace and
    security;
    – The relationships between the developed and the developing
    world;
    – The challenges of managing diversity and difference;
    – Issues of social justice, poverty, human rights and the protection of
    vulnerable people.
    Continuous
    • International Relations offers you an
    unparalleled opportunity to understand and
    influence
    – The cross-border factors that are shaping our
    societies at a local, National and worldwide level.

    approach to understanding the world in which
    we live,
    – It also concerns itself with issues of history,
    economics, politics, law, philosophy and justice.
