The Promise and Perils of Interdependence

Economic Interdependence and War: A Theory of Trade Expectations


1. How does the author define interdependence? Is this in accordance with the definition in your textbook?




2. In what ways do liberals and realists view interdependence differently?




3. What is the author’s hypothesis about interdependence? How does it build upon both the liberal and realist paradigms? What arguments does he use to support his hypothesis? What is your assessment of these arguments?




4. Discuss at least two present-day or historical examples used by the author.




5. What is your own view of the negative and positive aspects of interdependence? Support your position.
