Global Politics refers to the field of study and practice that examines the interactions among countries, international organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and multinational corporations, as well as the dynamics of power, governance, and policy-making on a global scale. It encompasses a wide range of issues including diplomacy, conflict resolution, international security, human rights, environmental concerns, and economic relations. Global politics investigates how political decisions made by various international actors affect global affairs and the interconnectedness of political systems across borders. It is characterized by the influence of globalization, which has led to increased interdependence among states, and the necessity for cooperation in addressing transnational challenges, such as climate change, terrorism, and public health crises. Scholars and practitioners in global politics analyze theories and concepts such as realism, liberalism, constructivism, and critical theory to understand the behavior of states and other entities in the international arena. Ultimately, global politics aims to navigate the complexities of international relations and promote stability, security, and cooperation in an increasingly interconnected world.
