Weaponized interdependence refers to the strategic use of control over critical nodes in global networks - such as supply chains, financial systems, or digital platforms - to exert economic or political pressure on other states or actors. By leveraging these points of control, powerful countries or organizations can monitor, restrict, or disrupt the flow of goods, information, or capital, effectively turning mutual dependence into a tool of coercion. This concept highlights vulnerabilities in globalization, where interconnectedness can be exploited for strategic advantage, making cybersecurity and network resilience crucial for national security.
