Theories Of Complex Interdependency

This section provides an analysis and discussion of theoretical concepts used in the study. The theory will be used to elaborate on the adaptations made to it. Thus, in this study, it will be based on the theory of complex interdependency. This theory can generally be used to theorized Singapore trade relations and their conduct of joint operation with other countries to secure their sustainable food security. On the other hand, Cuba preservation on production of agricultural exports especially sugar, requires the state to cooperate and trade with other countries for other resources. Thus, the theory of complex interdependency can be used to elaborate both Singapore and Cuba’s position in maintaining food security of their state. Theory of
Firstly, the exist of relations between multiple actors of international relations. According to Lamy (2011), one of the characteristic of complex interdependent theory is the increasing bond between state and non-state actors. The existence of a relationship ties formed either formal or informal between all actors of international relations from the branches of government to the numerous non-state actors (Jackson & Sorensen, 2013, p. 107). These non-state actors are those multinational corporations (MNCs), non-government organizations (NGOs) and also inter-governmental organizations (IGOs). Thus, state need to interact among these actors with multiple channels across national boundaries (Lamy, 2011, p.
Which presently, under the condition of complex interdependence theory, military force no longer is the best instrument of policy making between states (Jackson & Sorensen, 2013). As stated before, due to the effects of globalization, states are required to be increasingly interdependent among each other for their economic and social welfare. Which eventually means that state need to interact and accommodate to each other terms and conditions, that mostly involved trades. According to Nye (2005, p.207), welfare of the state become the primary and most dominant goal. Thus, it is economic benefits for nation-state that become the best instrument of policy making instead of military force that
