The Influence of Domestic Politics on International Relations

Globalization has further blurred the distinction between domestic and international politics. International agreements on trade, climate change, health, and security increasingly shape domestic policy choices. At the same time, domestic political debates influence a state’s willingness to engage in global governance.

Issues such as climate change, pandemics, and migration require international cooperation but are deeply affected by domestic political priorities and public attitudes. This interconnectedness highlights the growing importance of understanding domestic politics in the study of international relations.
