Abstract
IR course was conceived as an introduction to a selection of major theories of International Relations. This course is designed to introduce students to the key aspects of international relations and examine the contemporary and historical factors through which it is possible to explore the behavior of states and international organizations.In this course, main theory approaches are grouped into three broad categories of inter-paradigm debate - realism, liberalism, and structuralism.
