This is a mock lecture by Professor Steven B Rothman from the College of Asia Pacific Studies. This online event will be held via Zoom.

This short introductory lecture discusses the meaning of International Relations as an academic study and the importance of power. Power as a concept in international relations is deeply embedded in philosophy and social relations requiring a lengthy discussion. However, in this short lecture, we will discuss a basic understanding of the most important defining components.
