What is International Relations? Why is international Relations so important?
International Relations or it has also another name – Foreign policy, is country’s orientation towards other countries and group of countries. Diplomatic relations are always aimed at maintaining good and positive relationship. Foreign policy never aims at negative relationship. Sometimes it's situational call to have negative relations. No country can ever become self-reliable and self-sufficient. Every country in the World must have a “friend” or just a relationship with another country in order to ask for help if something happens. On other hand, global problems like Global warming, Poverty, women empowerment, violence demands global coordination. The new era in foreign policy is about coordinating all countries. Foreign policy is important to achieve national goals. Global issues can be solved only through multilateral coordination, arrangements and groupings. Put simply, international relations is about war and peace, conflict and cooperation, wealth and poverty, power and change, and understanding patterns of behavior between the actors in the world - from states, to presidents, to corporations.
The importance of international relations can be understood in a very simply example. All of us have our own houses. We all do have neighbors. Someone many, another not. But the main thing, is that we all have them and we are connected with them. If a family lives alone, without any friends there and doesn’t communicate with their neighbors, then it is not very good. Your neighbors are your strategic partners. By being communicative and diplomatic, by creating new contacts and finding new friends, you are already winning because your connections with other people, in this case with you neighbors, is like a strong web that will hold you whenever you have some problems or you just need some help. The same thing is between countries. The more you cooperate with your neighbors, and distant foreign countries, the saver and stronger you are. Because the importance of International Relations began after World War II, security is the priority.
