Interdependence refers to the mutual reliance and interconnectedness between individuals, groups, or countries, where each entity depends on others for resources, support, cooperation, and shared responsibilities. It recognizes that no entity can exist or function in isolation, and that their actions and decisions have consequences that affect others. Interdependence highlights the fact that collaboration, cooperation, and interconnection are necessary for the well-being and success of the interdependent parties. It is commonly used in the context of social relationships, economic systems, and international affairs.
