International Relations
In modern times no state can
afford to live in isolation. It has to cultivate relations with other states of
the world out of sheer necessity. Just as no individual can live outside the
society, similarly, no state can live outside the international community.
Therefore, international relationship is as much a product of necessity as
social existence itself. With the industrial revolution the world shrank and
the distances were reduced.
As a result the regional and
local problems began to assume world character. With this regional relations
were transformed into international relations. The term international relations
has been interpreted and defined in two senses- narrow and broad. In the narrow
sense it is confined to the study of “official relations conducted by authorized
leaders of the state”.
By emphasizing official
relations, the relations between businessmen, scientists, etc., Of the various
countries are excluded from the scope of international relations. In the
broader sense international relations include “all intercourse among states and
all movements of people, goods and ideas across national
frontiers”.
