In Creating Cooperation, Pepper D. Culpepper explains the successes
and failures of human capital reforms adopted by the French and
German governments in the 1990s. Employers and employees both stand
to gain from corporate investment in worker skills, but uncertainty
and mutual distrust among companies doom many policy initiatives to
failure. Higher skills benefit society as a whole, so national
governments want to foster them. However, business firms often will
not invest in training that makes their workers more attractive to
other employers, even though they would prefer having
better-skilled workers.Culpepper sees in European training programs
a challenge typical of contemporary problems of public policy:
success increasingly depends on the ability of governments to
convince private actors to cooperate with each other. In the United
States as in Europe, he argues, policy-makers can achieve this goal
only by incorporating the insights of private information into
public policy. Culpepper demonstrates that the lessons of
decentralized cooperation extend to industrial and environmental
policies. In the final chapter, he examines regional innovation
programs in the United Kingdom and the clean-up of the Chesapeake
Bay in the United States a domestic problem that required the
coordination of disparate agencies and stakeholders."
