Connection
I feel like there's a connection to Pratitya-samutpada, but I can't explain it yet! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.123.218.106 (talk) 22:15 + 22:14, 12 February 2006 (UTC) ; He fixed it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dan Ancona (talk • contribs) 22:15, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Merge with Complex interdependence, Economic interdependence, and Enviromental interdependence
Interdepence in econmics is different to interdepence in other saniro's. The economic verison of interdepence is between two firms which could be in the same or a different sector. This could be for example Mc'Donalds relying on a transportation company to deliver both raw and finished goods.

The enonmic Neither of these articles present sufficient information to stand on their own. As they all deal with different aspects of interdependence (socially, economically, and environmentally), they should be merged into this article. Neelix (talk) 14:03, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't agree with the suggestion. Economic interdependence as discussed here is a well defined concept with a limited scope. Its connection with environmental dependence is distant. Temple Bayliss (talk) 20:11, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't agree either, economic interdependence is an important political economy term and interdependence has such a broad meaning. If it needs to be merged with anything it can maybe be merged with liberalism in international relations, as this can be called a subset of that theory. --Smith215 (talk) 02:29, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't agree. Complex interdependence is a specific individualized topic about policy ideas. Interdependence is a much broader issue. Gimpylizzy (talk) 21:57, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Complex interdependence is a distinc theory, it is different form other types of interdependence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.173.117.164 (talk) 11:35, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Complex Interdependence as posited by Keohane and Nye is as mentioned above, distinct from Interdependence. Merging it would result in the loss of a page that should actually contain more information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.173.40.2 (talk) 03:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Disagree / Oppose This article addresses a key economic concept today, that undergirds and is manifested in the European Union.

The interdependence article is more of a murky abstract discussion, befitting of a dictionary.

Need for protection
This page has continually been cut by anonymous users, with most of these reverted by individually named people. The outcome is that it has become labelled as a stub. I'll restore some of the quotations, and try to keep an eye on it.

Origin of independence
What is worth mentioning, given any reputable source, is that independence arises out of interdependence. In fact, it is interdependence that is itself independent. 74.195.16.39 (talk) 19:46, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Interdependence
Interdependence is when some countries rely on other countries for their products and trade. For example, the U.S, Canada, and Mexico can trade food or other products if they need to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.25.16.199 (talk) 00:14, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Definition
Somewhere between January this year and now, the definition in the intro has changed. From being mutually dependent it has become each party being self reliant. That's not what i understand by the term, nor others apparently (see above post in talk page, and later sections of the article). It is also not how the dictionary defines it, e.g. my Mac dictionary says '(of two or more people or things) dependent on each other:'. So I'll rewrite the intro in the light of this.

Two dubious statements in History section
Loraof (talk) 16:31, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) Between 1820 and 1992, world population increased 5-fold, income per head 8-fold, world income 40-fold, and world trade 540-fold. But just as an increase of 1-fold is a multiplication by 2, so also an increase by 5-fold is a multiplication by 6, and an increase by 8-fold is a multiplication by 9. So this gives world income multiplied by 6×9=54, and hence a 53-fold increase. A citation is given for the contradictory numbers, but just an author name and a year, which is insufficient.
 * 2) Karl Marx first used the term interdependence.... I find it hard to believe that no one before Marx ever noted that countries are interdependent using that word.
