Abstract

Whether international relations are a solution to the problem or a way to provoke war is worth discussing. The Democratic Peace Theory under Liberalism holds that all democracies (or, more accurately, all liberal democracies) will not or rarely go to war with another. This theory is further explored in depth the link between democracy and peace. This paper analyzes the situation in Afghanistan, North Korea’s nuclear program and the United States intervention in the world. Finally, it is concluded that international relations theory can solve regional problems and lead to conflict and war. In other words, international relations are both parts of the problem and part of the solution to the issues in international affairs.

Summary

Introduction

International Relations is a branch of political science; the research aspects range from globalization to territorial disputes, nuclear crises, human rights, etc. In the study of International Relations, most students and scholars focus on theoretical research in the discipline, linking it to the current international affairs of the world that are taking place. That doesn‘t mean democracies won‘t go to war, and it doesn‘t guarantee that they won‘t like war more than other institutions, such as some authoritarian ones (Gat 2005). This theory intensely studies have further explored the link between democracy and peace, with fewer conflicts among democracies and more occasional acts of violence on a large scale. International relations are both part of the problem and the solution to the crisis in international affairs, which requires comprehensive analysis from multiple perspectives
