Sundelius, B. Interdependence and Foreign Policy. Cooperation and Conflict, XV, 1980, 187-208.
This survey briefly dissects the concept of interdependence, indicating its many interpreta tions and dimensions. Following a broad overview of the structure and process of the international politics of interdependence, as indicated in the literature covered, some implications for national foreign policy-making are pointed to. The impact of interdepen dence on state objectives and instruments, the relation between domestic and foreign policy, prevalent international processes and actors, and national processes and strategies are discussed, in particular with a view to the implications for smaller European nations. Finally, some important limitations of the discussed features are emphasized. The conclu sion calls for some empirical research to test the many interesting assertions contained in the interdependence literature.
