Liberal institutionalism and interdependence:
Interdependence theory developed as a critique of realist theory
in the 1970s. It challenged the realist idea that the state was the
most important entity in international relations. Interdependence
theorists stressed the importance of non-state actors, such as
multinational corporations and their influential role in a more
complex global society in which military power had become
far less important or virtually irrelevant to shaping relations
between countries.
