topics of IR
 

I have sorted out the following topics for IR :
Importance & scope of IR
Approaches to IR
Nation state system
Diplomacy , Balance of power
WW1,WW2, Cold war
Deterrence / detent'e
Disarmament
colonization, Decolonization
Imperialism ,New International Economic Order
War on Terror
Regional Organizations

I wanted to ask have I left any topic ???

plz add these in your list
1. Conflict n conflict resolution
2. Diplomacy n its practice ( in c.e 2012 a question comes from this topic)
3. Foreign Policy
4.Issues in Global Politics
5. International Law
6.International Organizations

have you taken IR ???

Do keep yourself abreast of the latest world wide happenings and try to link them with fundamental IR concepts and theories.Moreover, since from 2012 paper pattern is changed in terms of the questions asked you need to rely more and more on current International affairs.

P.S Take a cursory look of the syllabus as well because students opting IR over the past few years have developed this habit of skipping the syllabus and preparing a list of important topics from the past papers. 2012 should be an eye opener for all those with no prior background of IR.

Best Wishes
