How do we understand international relations: people disagree on the very name of the subject-matter. Some refer to it as international relations, international politics, global politics, and world politics: globalization (different meaning depending on who is studying and discussing it- women"s studies) The starting point of international relations is the existence of states, or independent political communities, each of which possess a govt. and asserts sovereignty in relation to particular segment of the human population (hedley bull, 1977) The discipline of international relations was created in 1919. The significance of this year is that it was the year wwi ended. Essentially, it is said that there is a relationship between the end of wwi and the establishment of international relations. The first school of this discipline was established in whales. Treaty of westphalia introduced the league of nations which attempted to maintain peace by providing a forum for resolving international disputes.
