A Passion for Cooperation is the exciting autobiography of Robert
Axelrod, one of the most acclaimed and wide-ranging scientists of
the last fifty years. After being recognized by President Kennedy
for being a promising young scientist while in high school, Axelrod
built a career dedicated to collaborating with business school
professors, international relations scholars, political scientists,
computer scientists, and even evolutionary biologists and cancer
researchers. Fifty years later, he was honored by President Obama
with the National Medal of Science for scientific achievement and
leadership and his work has been referred to as the gold standard
of interdisciplinary research. Yet Axelrod’s autobiography
is not just an account of his wide-ranging passion for cooperation.
It reveals his struggles to overcome failures and experience the
joys of gaining new insights into how to achieve cooperation. A
Passion for Cooperation recounts Robert Axelrod’s adventures
talking with the leader of the organization Hamas, the Prime
Minister of Israel, and the Foreign Minister of Syria. Axelrod also
shares stories of being hosted in Kazakhstan by senior Soviet
retired generals and visiting China with well-connected policy
advisors on issues of military aspects of cyber conflict. Through
stories of the difficulties and rewards of interdisciplinary
collaborations, readers will discover how Axelrod’s academic and
practical work have enriched each other and demonstrated that
opportunities for cooperation are much greater than generally
thought.
