Introduction to the Science of International Relations

Designed as a clear, rigorous, and logically structured primer, this volume directly addresses the long-standing fragmentation and inconsistency often found in international relations literature. Dr. Nayef Bin Nahar breaks down the core tenets of the political sphere into a accessible academic framework, enabling readers to navigate the complexities of global politics with analytical precision. The book covers the foundational building blocks of the international system: primary and secondary actors (nation-states and international organizations), major theoretical schools of thought, mechanisms of conflict management, international law, and the institutional structure of the United Nations. Emphasizing logical coherence and clear real-world examples, this work serves as an indispensable roadmap for mastering basic political terminology and understanding foreign policy dynamics.

It is a clear, accessible, and masterfully organized textbook that simplifies complex geopolitical concepts and theories for beginner scholars and general readers alike.

Ideal for students of political science, international law, and diplomacy, journalists, and general readers seeking a structured introduction to world politics and global affairs.
