International Relations And Global Politics

International relations (IR) or International studies (IS) represents the study of foreign affairs and global issues among states within the international system. Initially, international relations as a distinct field of study was almost entirely British-centred. In 1919, the Chair in International Politics established at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth (renamed Aberystwyth University in 2008), from an endowment given by David Davies, became the first academic position dedicated to IR.
