<span><span>Benefits of
interdependence include how developing countries can benefit from jobs provided
by international companies, and trade. Developing countries benefit from jobs
provided by international companies that produce a lot of goods, because that
means more opportunities to make money. Families in poverty often rely on jobs
provided by retailers for clothes, jewelry, or toys from western companies. Unfortunately, a risk of interdependence lies
in that many companies take advantage of the high demand for jobs, and abuse
their power to help themselves. </span><span>Interdependence allows
western economies to take advantage of developing countries with weaker
economies. Western capitalist businesses often send jobs away to other
countries where companies pay their workers a lot less, which makes it cheaper
to get goods (like clothes and toys) produced. This side of interdependence is
dangerous because it can violate human rights. When a family in poverty lives
in an area that allows child labor, they sometimes have no choice but to put
their child to work in order to afford food and other necessities. Also, that family may feel encouraged to have
more kids to bring in more money, and that contributes to overpopulation. International
organizations have pressured countries with child labor to make laws against
it, but those laws are often ignored. Countries like India have made an effort
to protect children, but some are still forced to work to help support their
families.</span></span>
<span>Another risk of
interdependence can be expressed through a dilemma in many countries in Africa:
the decision to either produce crops for food or for profit. African
governments, influenced by multinational corporations, worked to increase the
production of cash crops. Cash crops help to grow the economy, but take up
large portions of land that would instead be used for food, which forces some
countries to import expensive food to feed their growing population. Another
issue surrounding cash crops: if the weather is particularly bad for a season,
whether due to droughts or bad storms, the country suffers greatly. When a
country depends heavily on one commodity to attract trade and bring in profit,
and there becomes a shortage of that crop, that does not bode well for the
economy of that country. <span> However, there are still countries and areas
that benefit from interdependence due to trade. </span>An example of a
beneficial relationship between countries due to interdependence and trade lies
in African countries like Nigeria, where rising oil prices due to high demands
benefits the economy. When countries trade natural resources, like oil, found
in their geographical location, it has a positive effect on their economy.
Trading with Asian industrial giants such as China and India also has a
positive effect on economies in Africa. Countries in similar economic and
geographical positions also profit from the oil trade in addition to minerals
and other commodities. The growth that nations in Africa are experiencing
attracts outside investments that are helpful when building a strong,
successful infrastructure. </span>
bypassing states altogether by making federal grants directly to local governments
These included various grants such as lock grants consist of federal aid to local governments that is
to be spent within a specified policy area, though without the constricted regulations of categorical grants.
