How might scarcity encourage international trade and make countries interdepeendent?

Scarcity of resources in one country can drive it to seek goods and services that it lacks from other nations, fostering international trade. This reliance on imports to meet domestic needs encourages countries to specialize in producing what they can efficiently, leading to comparative advantages. As countries trade to satisfy their respective scarcities, they become economically interdependent, forming networks of mutual reliance that can enhance stability and cooperation in global relations.
