The most relevant theory regarding anarchy in the world order is realism. Realism posits that because there is no overarching order and law in the world, each individual state tries to maximize its power relative to all other powers. After all, with no institution above the state to save it, the state must ensure its ability to survive as existing is a prerequisite to doing anything else. This leads to a number of things but there are a few scenarios in particular worth mentioning. First, this can lead to a situation known as the security dilemma. To quote Shiping Tang, "Under a condition of anarchy,two states are defensive realist states-that is, they do not intend to threaten each other's security.31 The two states, however, cannot be sure of each other's present or future intentions. As a result, each tends to fear that the other may be or may become a predator. Because both believe that power is a means toward security, both seek to accumulate more and more power. Because even primarily defensive capability will inevitably contain some offensive capability, 32 many of the measures adopted by one side for its own security can often threaten, or be perceived as threatening, the security of the other side even if both sides merely want to defend their security. Consequently, the other side is likely to take countermeasures against those defensive measures. The interaction of these measures and countermeasures tends to reinforce their fears and uncertainties about each other's intentions, leading to a vicious cycle in which each accumulates more power without necessarily making itself more secure, through a self-reinforcing or positive feedback mechanism." Another effect is counter-balancing in which coalitions of powers form alliances to balance against rising hegemons to check their power.
Anarchy in International Relations refers to the absence of a central authority or hierarchy. This can lead to challenges such as the potential for conflict, difficulty in enforcing agreements, and a lack of universal rule of law. However, anarchy also allows for sovereignty and independence of states.
A person who studies international relations is often referred to as an international relations scholar or expert, or simply as a student of international relations.
The main difference between the two is in their view of the causes of conflict in international relations. Classical realism puts an emphasis on the self-interested and unchanging human nature which therefore makes states self-interested and power seeking units. Neo-realism, on the other hand, argues that the conflict in international relations can be explained by the state of anarchy: lack of overarching authority in IR which pushes individual states to seek power (self-help system).

The father of international relations is considered to be Thucydides, an ancient Greek historian who wrote about the Peloponnesian War and the interactions between states. His work laid the foundation for understanding how power dynamics, interests, and alliances shape international relations.

International affairs are issues/topics/problems of concern of various entities (states,organizations,etc).
