Farrell and Newman argue that, "specifically, states with political authority over the central nodes in the international networked structures through which money, goods, and information travel are uniquely positioned to impose costs on others" (p. 44). Why is this true? Do other authors that we have read over the course discuss examples of what might be considered networked asymmetries or weaponized interdependence? How might these asymmetries propel or constrain development?
a. Yes, because they control the flow of resources
b. No, because networked structures are inherently balanced
c. Yes, other authors have discussed examples of networked asymmetries
d. No, asymmetries do not impact development
