How Does the Current Political Race Affect To International Relations?
Background Information
International relations are attempts to explain behavior that occurs across the boundaries of a state. This study is part of political science and covers politics, economics, and law studies of other nations globally. As part of interactions with other countries, a glaring difference usually comes up, race. In this century, for many, race is something we barely notice. The world has become a global village with people from all cultures interact. However, for centuries one race identified itself as superior and set out to subjugate the rest. A student of International Relations is expected to know the political history and governance of other countries, including the impact of race. Race is a part of international relations studies and should be studied. Race is a factor in how people perceive, interact with each other. This paper will analyze the influence and role of race in American politics and the study of International Relations (IR).

Race has been a part of politics and international relations, though very little has been written or researched on the relationship between race, politics, and international relations.

It is a recent concept that was crafted in Europe. The Europeans to define themselves as superior created racism and used it to dominate other people deemed inferior. There was no concept of racism in other societies until the white man introduced it to the global south. This train of thought originated in Europe in the 18th and 19th century Europeans and served to justify domestic and international racism.
The idea of the white man's superiority was propagated in Europe and used as a tool to colonize other races in Africa and Asia. Despite there being no scientific evidence of the Europeans' superiority, this belief of being better was used as a tool to conquer the world. Europeans used Christianity and an excuse for bringing civilizations to grab land and propagate racism. Scholars and practitioners of IR must take seriously the colonial histories that were constitutive of the formation of modern states (Gurmunder, Yolande, and Randolph ). These racist thoughts were the foundation of racism in international relations. The ideology that the non-European man was inferior was so ingrained in the united states that the b...
