Abstract:

As an academic discipline, International Relations deals with a wide range of issues in the context of relations between states, international organizations and other non-state actors. These issues, their causes, processes and consequences are addressed from a political, socioeconomic and legal perspective, and their social psychological dimensions are either ignored or ignored. Until now, it seems that the attempt to cross the border between social psychology and International Relations mostly comes from social psychology. Undoubtedly, this points to the lack or weakness of International Relations researchers' attempts or awareness of using psychological theories and perspectives. Thus, this article focuses on the question that "How can the International Relations discipline benefit from social psychological approaches?" In this context, the fields of study, subjects and scope related to International Relations and social psychology will be defined first. Then, the current contributions of social psychology to International Relations will be briefly discussed. Finally, the possible issues that the International Relations discipline can benefit from social psychology and the possibility of such cooperation will be discussed in depth.
