Study Notes
- Interdependence refers to mutual dependence between peoples and governments, with the twentieth century seeing an increase in transnational relations, leading to higher interdependence.
- Theorizing about interdependence is rooted in the liberal tradition and international political economy (IPE) perspectives.
- Richard Rosecrance argues that economic development and foreign trade are more effective means of achieving prominence and prosperity for states, as opposed to military force and territorial expansion.
- High industrialized countries, such as Japan, Germany, and South Korea, have adopted a trading option, choosing an intensified international division of labor and increased interdependence.
- Smaller countries have also become trading states.
- The end of the Cold War has made the traditional military-political option less attractive and increasingly preferred even by larger states.
- China is a recent example of a trading state, having adopted a strategy of economic openness since the late 1970s.
- Liberals argue that a high division of labor in the international economy increases interdependence and reduces violent conflict between states.
- David Mitrany proposed a functionalist theory of integration, imagining that cooperation could be arranged by technical experts and that economic interdependence would lead to political integration and peace.
- Ernst Haas developed a neofunctionalist theory of international integration, building on Mitrany and emphasizing the role of political actors and their shifting loyalties in the integration process.
