Overview

The International Relations course at Istanbul Arel University recognizes that international relations today extend beyond interactions between states to affect every sphere of life, including economic, legal, and political relations that shape daily experiences.

The interdisciplinary curriculum addresses conventional political science subjects like state and inter-state dynamics, and expands to cover international organizations, multinational corporations, supranational relations, and global governance. Courses are regularly updated to reflect the rapidly changing global environment.
