<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History_of_the_term">History of the term</h2></div>
<p>The term "complex interdependence" was claimed by Raymond Leslie Buell in 1925 to describe the new ordering among economies, cultures, and races.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The very concept was popularized through the work of <a href="Richard_N._Cooper" title="Richard N.

With the analytical construct of complex interdependence in their critique of <a href="Political_realism" class="mw-redirect" title="Political realism">political realism</a>, <a href="Robert_Keohane" title="Robert Keohane">Robert Keohane</a> and <a href="Joseph_Nye" title="Joseph Nye">Joseph Nye</a> explore how international politics forever changed due to the emerging complex interactions and interdependence among states.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:3_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:3-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The theorists recognized that the various and complex transnational connections and interdependencies between states and societies increased, while Military force and power balancing are decreasing but remain essential. In coining the interdependence concept, Keohane and Nye also notably differentiated between <a href="Interdependence" class="mw-redirect" title="Interdependence">interdependence</a> and dependence in analyzing the role of power in politics and the relations between international actors.<sup id="cite_ref-:3_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:3-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>From the analysis, complex interdependence is characterized by three characteristics, involving
</p>
<ol><li>The use of multiple channels of action between societies in interstate, transgovernmental, and transnational relations,</li>
<li>The absence of a hierarchy of issues with changing agendas and linkages between issues prioritized, and</li>
<li>The objective of bringing about a decline in military force and coercive <a href="Power_in_international_relations" class="mw-redirect" title="Power in international relations">power in international relations</a>.</li></ol>
<p>Thus, Keohane and Nye argue that the decline of military force as a policy tool and the increase in economic and <i>other forms of interdependence</i> should increase the probability of <a href="Cooperation" title="Cooperation">cooperation</a> among states.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The theorists' work surfaced in the 1970s to become a significant challenge to political realist theory in international politics.

They both ignore the social nature of relations between states and the social fabric of international society. With the rise of <a href="Neoliberal_economics" class="mw-redirect" title="Neoliberal economics">neoliberal economics</a>, debates, and the need to clarify international relations theory, Keohane has most recently described himself as merely an <i>institutionalist.</i><sup id="cite_ref-:2_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This theory's purpose is to develop <a href="Sociological" class="mw-redirect" title="Sociological">sociological</a> perspectives in contemporary <a href="International_relations_theory" title="International relations theory">International relations theory</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:2_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Liberal, neoliberal, and liberal institutional theories continue to influence international politics and have become closely intertwined with political realism.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p><i>Multiple channels</i> that are present in complex interdependence are "connect societies, including informal ties between governmental elites as well as formal foreign office arrangements."

The last type is "<a href="Transnational_organization" title="Transnational organization">Transnational organization</a>," including organizations such as multinational banks or corporations.

<p><a href="Globalization" title="Globalization">Globalization</a> has shaped the global network in such a way that almost all states depend on it due to its interconnectedness. Farrell and Newman believe that because of this interconnectedness, and because states often compete for power, interdependence can be weaponized in order to gather valuable information, or to deny a state network access for strategic purposes.<sup id="cite_ref-:22_14-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:22-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They also argue that this complex interdependence creates power asymmetries in the global network.<sup id="cite_ref-:22_14-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:22-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This is based upon <a href="Network_theory" title="Network theory">network theory</a>, where networks are composed of nodes and ties (connections).<sup id="cite_ref-:22_14-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:22-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Unlike Keohane and Nye, they believe that networks are the opposite of fragmented, and they instead produce lasting power inequality, where exchanges only go through a few chief nodes.<sup id="cite_ref-:22_14-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:22-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The more connections a node has, the more influence it will have in the network.<sup id="cite_ref-:22_14-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:22-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Because newer nodes will likely attach to more influential nodes, we end up seeing an unequal distribution as the networks grow, generating a “rich-get-richer effect”, leading to certain nodes becoming more utilized and central than others.<sup id="cite_ref-:22_14-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:22-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Most chief nodes are focused on advanced industrial economies (for example, the U.S).<sup id="cite_ref-:22_14-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:22-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The ability of a state to weaponize interdependence is dependent upon its institutions, the size of its economy, and how much autonomy the state has from that interconnectedness (whether or not it has asymmetrical interdependence).<sup id="cite_ref-:22_14-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:22-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Asymmetrical interdependence allows that state to leverage network structure strategically without feeling the consequences.<sup id="cite_ref-:22_14-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:22-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
