International relations theory

International politics is the political area in which states or non-state actors, entertained by norms and institutions, relations with other states or non-state actors. This area is subordinated to international relations.

As a political science sub-discipline of the International Policy deals with questions of international relations and organizations of foreign, security and peace policy.

The foreign policy of states, which safeguard its own interests vis-à -vis other states is primarily, has become a policy of "inter nationes " converted proliferated in recent decades. This happened due to new factors on the international playing field. For example, new power blocs emerged after the Second World War, which never could be maintained without an inter - national policy, ie a policy between several states. Another very important factor is the increase of players since decolonization. In the context of regionalization common interests are consolidated in a variety of supranational organizations. Since the policy to some extent determines the framework for the economy, forms a globalized economy is another factor for an international policy.

The foreign relations of a state are of course inseparable from the political decision-making process of the peoples. The fiction of an interest of the state structure is problematic in a liberal- democratic state. In democracies, therefore, foreign policy is determined by parliamentary scrutiny and public opinion, also from the elite consensus and political ideologies of the zeitgeist. This step also geopolitical considerations on the scene: the international policy eg guided by conflicts over access to the oil. Therefore, the energy policy gains importance in international politics.
