interrelations
How things connect
Interrelations are the connections or relationships between things that affect each other.
The word emphasizes mutual influence—how economic policy shapes social outcomes, how social conditions shape economic possibilities.
The interrelations between climate, agriculture, and migration patterns are complex.
Often interchangeable with interrelationships, though slightly more formal.
