<p>I’ve heard of many people who major in economics and minor in international relations, but I’m not quite sure how the two are related. Can anyone explain how the two tie together?</p>
<p>You’re joking, right? Do you read newspapers or listen to the news? Ever hear of trade imbalances, globalization, foreign exchanges rates, child labor, economic development, foreign aid, outsourcing, OPEC, rare earth minerals, WTO, IMF, etc. etc. etc.? Ever notice how many foreign policy issues have an economic aspect?</p>
