International Conflict and Cooperation in the Ideal Approach

Abstract

Conflict is the defining function of international relations, whose outputs make the distribution of forces, and by it the victor is known, and his ability to impose the results of his political victory on the defeated international parties. It is a means of declaring victory and defining defeat, and with it the balance that leads to the development of cooperation is made according to this function, which is considered the cornerstone of relations between international units. The problematic issue of definition and analysis of integration to describe phenomena in the framework of international relations grows through two dimensions that constitute the poles of the problem in the subject of the research, namely: conflict and cooperation. This is done by focusing on the basic research elements in international relations that seek to achieve analysis, interpretation and prediction according to the ideal approach to international relations.
