International Relations (IR), a branch of political science, is the study of foreign affairs of and relations among states within the international system, including the roles of states, inter-governmental organizations (IGOs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and multinational corporations (MNCs). It is both an academic and public policy field, and can be either positive or normative as it both seeks to analyze as well as formulate foreign policy.

Apart from political science, IR draws upon such diverse fields as economics, history, law, philosophy, geography, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and cultural studies. It involves a diverse range of issues, from globalization and its impacts on societies and state sovereignty to ecological sustainability, nuclear proliferation, nationalism, economic development, terrorism, organized crime, human security and human rights.

Anonymous: Since its inception, international relations has been defined in many ways. Writers differ greatly upon the definition of the subject.

It appears quite natural, as Stanley Hoffman says, "how could one agree once and for all upon the definition of a field whose scope is in constant flux, indeed, a field whose fluctuation is one of its principal characteristics".
Anonymous: As such, international relations cannot be defined in any generally acceptable way.

Prof. Charles Schleicher defines international relations as the relation among States. Quincy Wright defines international relations as "relations between groups of major importance in the life of the world at any period of history."
Anonymous: According to Prof. Hans Morgenthau, international relations is a struggle fox power among nations. Norman Podelford and George Lincoln define international relations - as the interaction of State politics with the changing pattern of power relation­ships. However, a good working definition of international relations is given by Harold and Margaret Sprout.
Anonymous: They define international relations as "those aspects of interactions and relations of independent political communities in which some element of opposition, resistance or conflict of purpose or interest is present."
Anonymous: Relations at the International level means International relations:

Relations at the international level is termed international relations. In the case of international relations, nations work as groups, their needs and wants are called interests or national interests, and disagreement among groups or between interests is called conflict.
Anonymous: But the element of power remains the same. International relations, then, becomes a process of adjustment of relationships among nations in favour of a nation or group of nations by means of power. Thus, three important things relevant to international relations are: national interests, conflict and power.
Anonymous: The first is the objective, the second is the condition and the third is the means of international relations. But the second is of greater significance than the first or the third, because if conflict is not there, national interests and power will have little function to perform.

In this sense, international relations can be described as a set of those aspects of relations among independent political communities in which some element of conflict of interest is always present.
