in today’s global economy. At the same time, the nature and consequences of global economic interaction have become an increasingly important issue as countries are faced with greater pressure to adopt trade liberalisation policies.

Introduction: The topic of interdependence has been an issue since the inception of the state system and more prominently after the Cold War. Political scientists have debated its significance and vitality in a realism dominated discourse for years.

Engagement with Iran This essay recommends a policy of engagement reinforced by the key tenets of liberal theory for dealing with Iran.
