request to seniors and joniors.........

please anyone share the study plan of IR and important topics also .....
i dont know how and which chapters should be prepared.........

please help me

any body takes IR plz help me...........

Though I have not taken this subject called IR in my list of optional subjects yet I would desire to make a comment in this connection so that it may ease your confusion somewhat......Firstly Mark the important questions being repeated in the past papers and prepare them straightaway..And cram objectives of last 20 years...Better if you swallow the objectives of EUROPEAN HISTORY because it will definitely pay you a lot.
Secondly get a comprehensive knowledge of world's politics and foreign policies of major dominant powers which influence world affairs
Thirdly create outlines of all important historical happenings in war zone and resultant treaties. e.g ; World WARS ,NATO, and different pacts, nuclear concerns etc.......................Just give these things concentrated reading without being horrified

DON'T FORGET TO GO THROUGH ESSENTIAL EPISODES OF THIS MODERN TIME OF 2011 ...........TERRORISM,AFGHAN ISSUE,QUAGMIRE OF IRAQ, WORLD ECONOMICS,US-CHINA RELATIONS,US-PAKISTAN RELATIONS,US-INDIA RELATIONS ETC



hopefully you will be encouraged.....
