    Becker Question –

    Securing co-operation amongst emerging nations to limit the emission of green house gases can be made more difficult because of :

    1) Lack of Functional Interdependence
    2) Lack of Systematic Interdependence

    The answer says ‘Functional’ but why ?

    Systematic Interdependence is related to stuff like climate and global warming and Functional is more to do with IMF, WTO & UN

    Can somebody please clarify

    Is that one of those answers where the explanation given by Becker talks about how this question was probably thrown out? I always get a good laugh when they trash a question. It makes me feel better

    Bec 7/1/11 - 82
    Reg 8/13/11 - 86! It's over!!!!

    My interpretation based on their “correct answer”, while I agree this is a terrible question, is that systematic interdependence just highlights the fact that we share the earth and anything we do effects other nations. However, anything regarding actually taking action, such as participating in an organization (or joining the WTO, etc…) to eliminate greenhouse gases would be related to functional interdependence.

    FAR: 84

    I actually asked this to my Online Becker instructor and he basically said that if I am understanding the terms well enough to ask this question, then I don't need to worry about it beyond that. It has such a minute chance of actually appearing and is worded very poorly…I wouldn't spend much time stressing about it.

    BEC: 79 - April 2011
    FAR: 78 - May 2011
    AUD: 81 - May 2012
    REG: 79 - October 2012
    Ethics: Passed - March 2013
    I am finally DONE!
