In my opinion economic interdependence of nations or clusters of nations isn’t much of a factor for precipitating military conflict today. I am referring to general wars rather than specialty or designer wars of a limited scope.
Present global interdependence is developing planetary collectivism and corporatism. There should eventually be a repressive minority of 1% ruling the world, and any sort of war would essentially be civil and, insurrectionist morphing to revolutionary. Such conflicts would require the breakdown of the economic order through sabotage initially and with the large planetary demographic fact only chaos and vast loss of life would occur by the billions from various causes.
Right now nuclear wars are the sole usual unlimited kind of general wars possible and those make losers of everyone because the weapons are too powerful for Earth. Therefore biological war is the only practical kind of war that might use direct and traditional criteria of military conflict, and biological wars bring wildfire demographically speaking and are rather inclined to bring mass human die off, chaos and so forth.
Perhaps social purge wars and such that draw the term fascist to them from the victims will be the norm for war-in-other-than-military-forms (besides economic wars to segregate undesirable members of society).
