“A great deal of world politics is a fundamental struggle, but it is also a struggle that has to be waged intelligently.” ~Zbigniew Brzeziński International Relations is a perfect course for students who are enthralled by the study of how different countries are connected, both economically and politically. International relations focus on the study of a nation’s policy with respect to the competitive world. And on how to take and retain power in the globalized world, while maintaining international peace. The field helps you acquire a systematic approach and the ability to analyze political circumstances in the global context.Career Path
