International Relations has been considered as an ecumenical-social phenomenon, that finds its deepest roots in the history of diplomacy rather than with theories of contemporary thought. As such the Institute is in a constant search for knowledge of International Relations as an inter- and multidisciplinary academic endeavour which describes, explains, and ultimately predicts the processes and phenomena linked with to the dynamic interrelations between actors on the international political stage. A coordinated endeavour is necessary since International Relations encompasses in its theoretical processes and in its practices diverse areas of study: political science, law, economy, the history of ideas through the ages, geography, the environment, and cybernetics, among others.

The Institute of International Relations creates and promotes the scientific investigation of unexplored themes in the distinct areas of knowledge of this subject, tying in with new developments in thought and preparing specialized reports on related topics. Its work includes such undertakings as:

• To research International Relations both within and across disciplines.
• To promote regional and international study and its ties with Mexico and the world.
• To provide specialized information.
• To undertake the study of international relations as seen from the viewpoint of Mexican reality – its problems and opportunities – with an emphasis on their social impact.
• To use techniques, methodologies, and tools that permit a better understanding of international phenomena.
• To spread knowledge of and promote the new currents of understanding generated by this discipline.
• To interpret and explain objectively the phenomena, process and problems that the field of study offers in the present day.
• To come up with alternative strategies for the solution of problems interrelated with local, national, and international matters.

These studies include:

• Research on the history of the earth’s crust in the area to discover the geological paleontological history of the surrounding countryside as a natural resource. This research also sets out to find and describe new places that have potential to benefit the state.
• Permanent inventories of natural resources, distribution and abundance analysis. These inventories also involve time to determine the changes that happen to the towns and the way that they develop. The inventories are also kept on farming and fishing activities that exist in the region. The aim is to keep inventories of the flora and fauna of the state that, together with the results of the analysis of such resources, recommendations on sustainable farming will come about. These recommendations may also propose essential ideas for administration, like bans on farming and fishing activities during certain seasons, capture areas, and sustainable farming, among others.
• Evaluations of the potential of the Mexican maritime waters for navigation, the coast and the sea use for tourism, and the possibilities for developing alternative energy sources.
• A study of the availability and distribution of inorganic nutrients coming from coastal bodies of water. This study delves also into the incidence of the primary production of adjacent oceanographic regions whose inhabitants are aware of the chemical and biological processes related to the fertility of the coastal lagoons and to encourage an interchange with such regions.
• Identification and evaluations of the dynamic mechanisms of the coastal and oceanic waters in order to become aware of the existing relationships within the physical parameters of the ocean and the performance possibilities of deep-sea fishing grounds.
• Chemical and biological evaluations coastal and sea natural recourses as support for knowledge of the same and the generation of new information that will benefit the population.
• Following nutrient flows en the coastal floor to determine the state of such resource in order to determine the state of such resource for natural and anthropogenic (human based) events.
