International Relations is a subfield of social sciences that employs interdisciplinary methods drawn from history, economics, and sociology to study the relations between states, international organizations, multinational corporations, and non-governmental organizations.
The topics of international relations include global and regional security, international migration, economic cooperation, and debates over democratization, citizenship and identity. Graduates of international relations may expect to take jobs in the public, private and non-profit sectors, media as well as the academia.
