ABSTRACT
The first proposition of the complex interdependency theory points out the emergence of a more entwined and integrated international system owing to the developments in transportation, communication and technology in which there exist various points of contact between the countries at both official and public levels. Official relations are conducted by politicians and bureaucrats in meetings, on the telephone and in official correspondence (Keohane and Nye 1977, 26). Transnational ties, on the other hand, have gained remarkable prominence especially with growing power and expansion of business along with increased people-to-people exchanges between the ordinary citizens which brought about a blurring of the lines between domestic and foreign policy and added more items on the agenda of foreign policy officials.
