Abstract of the webinar
The webinar is going to discuss what is International Relations as a discipline of social sciences. The effectiveness with which a government conducts international relations with its neighbours and trade partners has an impact on national employment, import tariffs, mobilization into the army, security, cultural interactions and activities, travel, tourism, and other factors. All of these elements have an impact on the average person's life in a nation or region. The presentation will address the main components of IR, how to understand it and what parallels we can make to our daily lives.
