Summary

Course Overview

The British Academy for Training and Development offers a training course in Modern International Relations and Soft Power Strategy, and the impacts thereof on foreign policy as well as economic, social, and diplomatic relations that will keep countries in a state of power on an ongoing basis.

Modern International Relations have widely changed in line with the vast modern alteration of the world order, so that every political entity is largely integrated and interconnected with others in the global political system. International Relations are based on solid connections and mutual interdependence between countries on political levels and aspects of cooperation. 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.
