International Conflict Theory: The Study Of International Relations

Introduction
International relations can briefly be said as well that the relationship between actors and non-State actors state (usually emphasized or devoted to the actor State) in both cooperation and conflict. Study of International Relations is a study that aims to study the behavior of international actors in the international system. International Relations is the study of the interactions between the various actors who participate in international politics, including countries, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, subnational entities such as bureaucracy and local governments, and individuals. International Relations is also a study of the behavior of these actors when participating either individually or jointly

But in broad outline the general condition and behavior characteristics among these actors will always move in two general patterns, namely: conflict (conflict) and collaboration (cooperation). [2] Conflict is an interaction in which there is an element of violence. The end result of conflict most extreme is war. While cooperation is an interaction that involves the countries that have the common interest and purpose, with the basic assumption that these goals will be achieved when there is good cooperation between these countries. And interaction in the form of competition is more common in the context of military and economic competition.
Studies on the interaction between countries were encountered in the theory of international politics. International political discusses how the reaction given by one country against another country action. Not only the interaction between countries but also the interactions that occur between non-state actors such as NGOs and IGOs. The numbers of non-state actors who appear as perpetrators of interaction indicates the number of new issues that arise as a consequence of the new world order.

One form is economic cooperation. Besides that, it also examines the country in a region. Another pattern is the influence of the outside (external influence) that the presence of international actors both state actors and non-state (organizations and individuals) who participated gave the dynamics of international relations in the Middle East region. Middle East is a region that was already centuries ago dogged by war and upheaval, and which shows no sign that it is difficult to deal with this pattern. Outside interference, inter-state wars (the region), money, oil, religion, economic chaos, and the shrinking of spirit seems to coloring the region. [] Middle East itself got a nickname is 'narcissistic region' because there is a belief that the whole world spend their time worrying about the Middle East and plotting, and that everything that happens in the region is different from what happens in other places, and everything that happens in the region whether it is evil or good. [] However, beyond all its problems, the Middle East is an area of the entity stable countries.
