  We derive the nucleon-nucleon interaction from the Skyrme model using second
order perturbation theory and the dipole approximation to skyrmion dynamics.
Unlike previous derivations, our derivation accounts for the non-trivial
kinetic and potential parts of the skyrmion-skyrmion interaction lagrangian and
how they couple in the quantum calculation. We derive the eight low energy
interaction potentials and compare them with the phenomenological Paris model,
finding qualitative agreement in seven cases. This is a substantial improvement
on previous calculations and serves as an excellent starting point for
describing the nucleon-nucleon interaction from the Skyrme model.
