Explanation:
In economics, interdependence refers to the economical dependence or compulsory relationship between countries through trade. This occurs because most countries specialize in a few services or products, and therefore need to trade with others to obtain products and services they do not produce. For example, Japan specializes in the production of technology but not in the agriculture products, and due to this, Japan needs to trade with other countries to obtain them.
In this context, one positive effect of economic interdependence is the growth of international trade because interdependence increases the imports and exports of countries as trade is necessary to supply the needs of most countries. Additionally, this rise the standards of living in the countries participation because the trade benefits economy and helps countries to develop.
