Briefly explain the concept of interdependence and foreign policy.

Answer 1

Instructions: Explain interdependence and foreign policy
Solution:

• All the countries of the world are dependent on each other for one reason or the other. However big, prosperous or developed a nation may be, it can never be self-sufficient about all its needs.
• Even big nations have to depend upon other big and small nations. This interdependence is an important feature of today's global system. To better understand this, we first need to know more about how countries deal with other countries.
• Therefore, a nation’s strategy in dealing with other nations aimed at achieving its own objectives is known as a foreign policy. Foreign policy depends on the environment and nature of the world.
