International Relations (IR) is a field which is characterized by the variety of issues it examines and the complexity of the factors shaping these issues. This variety and complexity bring about a big uncertainty to the IR. Therefore, International Relations theories require a broad and multi- dimensional perspective to decrease the uncertainty. Despite the diversity of the traditional theories, IR is still in need of some new perspectives and syntheses taking into consideration a large number of factors together.
