This course is designed for undergraduate students and aims at presenting mainstream IR theories along with other critical approaches to International Relations (IR). In today’s world, international relations become increasingly multi-layered, multi-actoral and multi-dimensional, thus more complex and contested. In this sense, being able to think theoretically gives the students of IR a perspective for understanding these complex and complicated world events clearly and diligently.
