This book presents an analysis of transnational cooperation or collective action that stresses basic concepts and intuition. Factors are identified that facilitate and/or inhibit such cooperation. Elementary game theory is used as a tool for illustrating our ideas and discussion. Game theory shows that rational actors (for example, countries, firms, or individuals) must account for the responses of other rational actors. The book assumes no prior knowledge of game theory; all game-theoretic concepts and analyses are explained in detail to the reader. A unique feature of the book is its paired comparisons (for example, climate change versus ozone shield depletion, polio eradication versus smallpox eradication, and rogue versus failed states), which are instructive in illustrating cooperation success and failure. Throughout the book, the importance of institutions (for example, multilateral organizations, multistakeholder institutions, and public-private partnerships) in fostering transnational cooperation is highlighted. Also, the role of technology is recognized. The book is rich in applications and covers a wide range of topics, including superbugs, civil wars, money laundering, financial crises, drug trafficking, terrorism, global health concerns, international trade liberalization, acid rain, leadership, sovereignty, and many others. The first four chapters lay the analytical foundations for the book, while the next nine chapters apply the analysis to a host of exigencies and topics of great importance
