Complex Interdependence in Historical and Comparative Perspectives

States have become more interdependent of each other. The development in one state affects conditions and developments in other states. The aim of this project is to provide new knowledge about how interdependence between states has developed. The project has three objectives hence: to examine a) how interdependence in different aspects have developed since 1945, b) the connections between interdependence in different aspects, and c) how interdependence expand, stagnate and decline. For these analyses, the project will develop an extensive and novel database about interdependence in different aspects.
