International Relationship
Essay prompt: For this reflection essay, discuss this quote from A.C. McKeils 2017 e-ir essay, A Brief Introduction to the Study of International Relations : What Ken Booth (2014) calls big and important problems are first and foremost what brings most students to IR. Every student will have a real-world issue or concern that s/he brings to the study, and which she can make her/his specialty. It is these personally recognized public problems that make the intellectual world of IR visible to the student. It is from these problems that the questions spring. Why are these problems going on? Must they? Or, can they be otherwise? Something I have always felt is close to the spirit of studying IR, is the drive to make the world a better place, to address the big and important problems of the world, to throw ourselves at their betterment. The study of IR is first and foremost a study, an intellectual activity, with an intellectual world, but awareness of it and interest in it comes from real-world problems International problems are the reason why we get to the international questions.
