International Political Sociology

International Political Sociology (IPS) is a field that studies how global politics and social factors influence each other. It examines the ways ideas, identities, power relations, and social movements shape international relations beyond traditional diplomacy and state interests. IPS looks at how societies, cultures, and networks contribute to global political processes, emphasizing the interconnectedness of social dynamics and political structures across countries. It aims to understand the underlying social forces and meanings that drive international politics, offering a more nuanced view of global issues by integrating social theory with political analysis.
