Question

How has interdependence has affected both developed and developing nations.

Answer 1

Answer:

Interdependence describes when two or more international actors impact and rely on each other. Consider the flour industry, for example. One person specializes in growing crops, another on milling, one on packing, distributing, and finally selling it. They need each other to deliver the final product, and if one day the mill stops, everyone is affected; they are all interdependent.

Think of those individuals as a country, and the flour as the products and services we consume. This gives you an idea of the interdependence of human societies. We fulfill our needs by relying on a massive network of other people.

Nowadays, most countries are also interdependent because they rely on other countries for supplying local demand and for selling local products. This interdependence is strong, and one nation's actions often have consequences on another's. For example, China's labor costs impact employment in other countries, Russia's policies on gas affects transport costs in Europe, and air pollution generated in the United States has global effects.
