In our previous blogs we mentioned that interdependence is a result of many different links, such as economic, social, environmental, cultural and political links. These links create many challenges, but also opportunities. Whereas once, challenges such as an economic recession or pollution generated by high energy use, may have been viewed at the national level, interdependence means they are felt on a global scale.
We must also consider the fact that the postive and negative impacts of interdependence are often not shared equally between places. Often an MEDC will reap the majority of any benefits and an LEDC will be worst effected by negative aspects. In the Bill Clinton clip posted on October 2nd, he discusses interdependence. Speaking from a global perspective he says that "we share the benefits but we must also share the pain."
A few of the current challenges and opportunities resulting from interdependence are highlighted in the following short video.
