• Delete Basically a rehash of somebody's non-notable PhD thesis. The term finds absolutely no use at Google Scholar, and nothing but this article at Google News. Written by a special purpose account. If this article is deleted, somebody needs to follow the SPA editor's contributions, to find and remove all the other places in Wikipedia where he promoted his non-notable theory. --MelanieN (talk) 01:11, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note to self: Complex interdependence, The End of History and the Last Man, The Clash of Civilizations, Asian values, Democratic peace theory. --MelanieN (talk) 15:22, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete fails WP:GNG. possible WP:OR. LibStar (talk) 01:21, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, per MelanieN. I did also find some of the articles / books cited in the article - none use this term at all. (See NY Times, Wash Post & Keohane book). Nikthestoned 11:17, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• It appears as though the independent sources are all used to cite theories and principles mentioned in practice. None actually mention Recalcitrant Interdependence (though, fittingly, the article doesn't claim that it does). Achowat (talk) 15:40, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
