Interdependence
Jack Gross
World Health Organization (WHO) Political interdependence:
The WHO is an organization funded by the UN that seeks to achieve a higher lever of global health. Recently world leaders accepted a United Nations political declaration on Universal Health Coverage. This declaration stated that they were committed to setting up systems in order to reduce financial hardships and prevent people from having to pay for healthcare out of pocket. They also agreed to increase health workforce and reinforce infrastructure and to report back their progress to the UN General Assembly in 2023. This is an interdependent organization and it has many different countries that work together to try to help out with the global health crisis.
EU invests €117m in transport projects:
The EU has announced a plan to invest in 39 transport projects linking its members. This is a good demonstration of countries being interdependent and forming an IGO in order to benefit them all economically. They plan to significantly upgrade trains/train lines to make transportation more sustainable and safer, along with more widely available. This will not only include train lines though, they also plan to upgrade infrastructure in ports to allow more trade. This plan will upgrade nearly 75,000 train cars to be more efficient and quieter.
Boris Johnson grilled on Brexit plan
The UK prime minister has been trying to sell his plan for Brexit to the EU. So far this hasn't been working out for either side, the EU has said that there is more work needed before they can come to an arrangement that is agreeable to all. Not only has the EU been unimpressed with the proposed plan for Brexit, the Labour Party in the UK have criticized the proposal saying that it is "worse than Theresa May's plan". Not only do both of those groups not approve of this plan, hard-core Brexiteers don't like it and are calling it "Fake Brexit". Along with all of this disagreement over the plan, the European Parliament's Brexit Steering group says that it doesn't "match even remotely what was agreed as a sufficient compromise".

Trump will send troops to Saudi Arabia. Here's why it matters that there's no formal defense alliance.
President Trump suggested that the relationship between the United States meant that the United States might come to its aid. This came from the recent attacks on Saudi oil facilities. President Trump authorized a small U.S. troop deployment to the kingdom. Trump had already tweeted that he was having discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the possibility of a formal U.S.-Israel defense treaty. However the United States has not a new formal alliance since 1955 and it is fairly unlikely that a plan for a new one would be approved by the U.S. Senate. While the idea of a formal alliance is not a particularly popular one in the Senate, Congress has been showing an overwhelming amount of support for Israel and has brought the possibility of this relationship much closer to becoming a reality through their support.
