IR Theory

<p>Can we create a world with shared norms and values to successfully meet collective threats to humankind? Should nations always behave the way they are doing now in the international arena? Can&rsquo;t they relate to each other differently? What prevents them from doing what is in their own interests?</p><p>With such questions in mind the author explores major IR theories that attempt to explain war peace and commerce across nations. Though this does not give any ready-made answers to those questions this can be a guide in one&rsquo;s search for answers.</p>
