Suitable AS/A levels for international relations

Geogrpahy,politics,English literature and Philosophy and ethics?
How does that sound for a combonation?
Other possible subjects: History,sociology,psychology, English language,DT,ICT,BIology,Chemistry and Physics.

I have attempted to get a good balance with facilitating subjects and pure enjoyment, any input would help. If you study a form of political science please feel free to drop a message or a comment. If you have any alterations please let me know.

Many thanks Nathan!

FYI in my desired AS levels I attained A*A*A and I have not sat politics, I am currently undertaking a year off between GCSE and AS.

Uhm, I emailed alot of them, like my dream set of options would be:

Politics
Geography
English Literature
Philosophy and Ethics (RS)

Are these options okay for international relations, or are they too soft?
