you need to review Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman article for the first question; you also can use from outside beside using Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman article.
Section I: Power and IR Theorizing
1. The Liberal approach to international relations often emphasizes that economic
interdependence can promote peace and cooperation. However, interdependence
sometimes becomes an essential source of international conflict. In a recent International
Security article, Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman argue that economic
interdependence can even be “weaponized” by nation-states for coercive purposes.
Whether economic interdependence becomes a source of cooperation or conflict might
depend on different conditions and mechanisms. What is your opinion? Why? Please
provide both theoretical and empirical evidence to support your argument.
Section II: Identity and IR Theorizing
1-What is identity? How does identity shape conflict and cooperation in international
politics? Please provide theoretical and empirical evidence to support your argument.
