    hiiii can anyone help me for international relations topics i cant find from where to study dese topics plzzzz

    • Axi Tak

      Download IASBABA monthly magazines and look in current affairs analysis of IASBABA. You will get most of topics related to international relations. International is a separate topic in iasbaba’s magazines you will see the best coverage of all international relations. Still if you don’t find you can read RSTV and AIR topics. I hope this helps.

      • bikram

        thank u

      • bikram

        • Axi Tak

          Hi, try to go through them from august 2016. Mostly read the one’s that IASBABA is asking TLP 2017. He tries to cover most of the important international relations in TLP 2017.

        • Axi Tak

          Don’t read all but keep yourself updated with the news and current India’s international relations and foreign policy. Majorly cover those which IASBABA asks in his TLP 2017.

    • Kartikay Sharma

      How on earth can you expect to get marks for this answer? ‘Rigid bureaucratic superstructure’ needs to be elaborated before being criticized. Also, lateral entry may also refer to people from field organizations being promoted to secretarial positions. The working of American spoils system may also be mentioned. Being too vague may not always prove to be marks fetching. I apologize in advance if you felt bad.
