From the Paper:

"The definition of the term "interdependence" is in reality a combination of two words. Dependence meaning relying on something or someone and inter a Latin word for between. Taken in an economic context, the significance is apparent - the world we live in today is based on a successful application of the true meaning of this word - how we depend, rely on one another, in other words, how we trade. The hypothesis of my paper will be to prove how managed economic interdependence will lead to security with the accent on the Asia-Pacific region."
