The British Academy for Training and Development presents this training course in International Laws and Regulations and its surrounding aspects, to all professionals wishing to acquire more advanced knowledge about the nature of International Relations and the Laws and Regulations binding them.

The International Regulatory System revolves around all processes that govern a network of inter-state relations. This network has contributed to the formation of interdependence and interaction between countries in the global political system, reaching the stage of interdependence. International Relations are based on solid connections and mutual interdependence between countries. Each state considers only its own strength and security because it is in a system based on self-defense. It seeks prestige among other states in the universal political regime, especially the independence of its decision, based on the compatibility of interests between countries. Modern International Economic Relations have widely changed in line with the vast modern alteration of the world order, so that every economic entity is largely integrated and interconnected with others in the global economic system.
