Abstract

Environmental changes in countries and the analysis of the situation in this area are one of the most important issues of the modern era; therefore, leaders of countries, politicians and environmental activists are trying to adopt solutions to improve the environmental situation of their countries. Using the documentary method, five important theories in international relations have been examined from the perspective of environmental issues, and in this way, a look has been taken at the existing fields for expanding cooperation between countries in this area; also, the two theories of realism and postmodernism have been compared with each other in a comparative manner. The results of the research show that there are fundamental gaps in the field of environmental theorizing with a foreign policy approach; while in order to form a desirable theory, that is, a theory that can achieve the conditions for the expansion of convergence, the environment needs to be recognized as an important and determining factor in the field of macro-international policymaking.
