Introduction
IR or International Relations is an act of interaction between actors at the international level, including states, international organizations, and other non-state actors. IR covers a various aspects of life, such as politics, economics, socio-culture, and many others. IR also can be referred as an act of cooperation and a pattern of governmental life such as peace and military. Although the theory or study of IR fulfills the following aspects, IR also cannot be far from the theory of logical basics. Why? So today we will discuss why IR cannot be far from the theory of logical science.
Critical Thinking
In the aspect of IR, the fundamentals of logical theory can help in critical thinking which examining the arguments and counter-arguments at hand, allowing IR researchers to provide more in-depth analysis, evaluate, and structure arguments logically. In the context of IR, critical thinking must be necessary in examining various theories, concepts, and complex issues that arise in international relations as it plays a key role in building consistent and valid arguments, thus allowing IR researchers to conduct in-depth analysis of global issues, such as conflict, international cooperation, and foreign policy so that an understanding of logic helps in developing the critical thinking needed in the study of International Relations.
Problem Solving
In problem solving, logical theory helps in problem solving in the study of International Relations. In this context, critical thinking is the ability to analyze in depth based on deductive and inductive reasoning. It can help in identifying and analyzing complex problems in international relations, such as interstate competition and conflicts of interest so that International Relations researchers can evaluate complex problems, such as interstate competition, global conflicts, international cooperation and also help in constructing consistent arguments in investigating problems that arise in the context of international relations.
Development Of New Theories And Analyzing Theories
In this context, logical theory plays an important role in building consistent and valid arguments, making it possible for IR learners to develop new theories that are more informative and comprehensive. It also helps in analyzing existing theories and then testing the validity of those theories, making it very important in developing new theories and analyzing existing theories in the context of International Relations.
Conclusion
In summary, Logical theory is very influential in IR in analyzing, evaluating, and constructing arguments logically. Logical theory also helps IR researchers think critically to identify and analyze complex problems in international relations. In addition, logic theory is indispensable for IR science in finding new theories and also analyzing existing theories to test the truth of these theories. So it can be concluded that researching IR cannot be far from mixing the basic sciences of logic.
