I'm studying IR but my native language is Spanish so i'm seeing things that already know but in another language to know the way you English speakers say the words, thanks for doing videos like this.

Saludos desde México 💪

There will be virtually nothing about voting and social preference aggregation. We will take states' preferences as a given and work with them on the international stage.

You might be more interested in comparative politics, which is more geared toward what you are talking about.
