  Interdependence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This concept differs dinstinctly from "dependence" in that an interdependent relationship implies that all participants are emotionally, economically, and/or morally "independent." Some people advocate freedom or independence as a sort of ultimate good; others do the same with devotion to one's family, community, or society.

The element of interdependence is self-evident - the subsystems in a system constituting the ecology and the balance its maintains, the population-groups and the symbiotic relations existing and evolving - amply demonstrate the indisputability of 'interdependence'.

interdependence exists whenever one actor does not entirely control all of the conditions necessary for the achievement of an action or for obtaining the outcome desired from the action.

 Economic interdependence and war: a theory of trade expectations.
In the 1920s, interdependence was high, and the world was essentially peaceful; in the 1930s, as entrenched protectionism caused interdependence to fall, international tension rose to the point of world war.
If highly interdependent states expect that trade will be severely restricted - that is, if their expectations for future trade are low - realists are likely to be right: the most highly dependent states will be the ones most likely to initiate war, for fear of losing the economic wealth that supports their long-term security.
High interdependence can be peace-inducing, as liberals maintain, as long as states expect future trade levels to be high in the future: positive expectations for future trade will lead dependent states to assign a high expected value to a continuation of peaceful trade, making war the less appealing option.

 APS Observer - The Interdependence Paradigm
It is my thesis that the fundamental paradigm of psychology is one of interdependence that can be symbolized S < > O < > R. Although research based on the independent-dependent variable paradigm has led to identification of many important facts, the conceptual principles must incorporate both independent and interdependent variables.
The interdependence paradigm applies to those situations in which each variable determines and is determined by the other variable.
Interdependence does not resolve the fundamental issue of whether the human organism is active in the sense of agency but it does include the organism as being active in complex mediational processes.

 Amazon.com: Power and Interdependence (3rd Edition): Books: Robert O. Keohane,Joseph S. Nye   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
Power and Interdependence was written to construct a way of looking at the world of politics that helps us understand the relationships between economics and politics, and patterns of institutionalized international cooperation, while retaining key realist insights about the roles that power and interests play in world politics.
The authors illustrate this distinction with examples taken from history, and conclude that sensitivity interdependence is not as important as vulnerability interdependence from the point of view of providing power resources to actors.
Finally, "military interdependence is not used by governments towards other governments within the region, or on the issues, when complex interdependence prevails".

 Pratitya-samutpada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
According to the analysis of Nāgārjuna, the most prominent Mādhyamika, true causality depends upon the intrinsic existence of the elements of the causal process (causes and effects), which would violate the principle of anatta, but pratītya-samutpāda does not imply that the apparent participants in arising are essentially real.
Therefore Nāgārjuna explains that the anatta (or emptiness) of causality is demonstrated by the interdependence of cause and effect, and likewise that the interdependence (pratītya-samutpāda) of causality itself is demonstrated by its anatta.
In Dzogchen tradition the interdependent origination is considered illusory: '(One says), "all these (configurations of events and meanings) come about and disappear according to dependent origination." But, like a burnt seed, since a nonexistent (result) does not come about from a nonexistent (cause), cause and effect do not exist.
