INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, REALISM, AND LIBERALISM: A THEORETICAL REVIEW
Main Article Content
Abstract
International Relations is a significant subfield of social science specifically political science. The scope of international relations refers to the complex relationships that exist between the world's sovereign states. It is primarily concerned, among other things, with the in-depth examination of all events and situations that affect more than one state. International relations between countries are essential in today's globalized world. This is because no country is self-sufficient. As a result, countries all over the world have established bilateral and multilateral relations to advance their economic, security, and social well-being. This study thoroughly reviews and examines only two theories (Realism and Liberalism) among the theories of international relations as well as its definitions. finally, the study found that the term “international " was used by Jeremy Banthanl for the first time in the late eighteenth century, and also the international relations has been defined in a variety of ways since its inception by many scholars. In addition, realism, or political realism, has been the dominant theory of international relations.
