The development of numerous ideas of international relations is examined in this paper,
with particular attention paid to constructivism, liberalism, feminism, Marxism,
and post-colonialism. The Westphalian System, which recognized state sovereignty and
territorial integrity, and the Concert of Europe, which placed an emphasis on balanceof-
power diplomacy among European countries, are the two systems that have shaped
international relations across time. An early attempt at international government, the
League of Nations System, was unable to stop World War II. The League was replaced
by the United Nations System, which boasts more diverse membership and improved
enforcement capabilities for international peace and security. Global alliances and proxy
conflicts resulted from the Cold War Bipolar System, which was defined by the ideological
gap between the US and the Soviet Union. According to the analysis, the post-
Cold War system has changed from unipolarity under US control to a more complex
multipolar environment with new powers like Russia and China. These theories give
a detailed understanding of global contacts and their historical development by shedding
light on the fundamental dynamics influencing international politics, conflicts,
and cooperation.
