This book is a comprehensive study of cooperation among the
advanced capitalist countries. Can cooperation persist without the
dominance of a single power, such as the United States after World
War II? To answer this pressing question, Robert Keohane analyzes
the institutions, or "international regimes," through which
cooperation has taken place in the world political economy and
describes the evolution of these regimes as American hegemony has
eroded. Refuting the idea that the decline of hegemony makes
cooperation impossible, he views international regimes not as weak
substitutes for world government but as devices for facilitating
decentralized cooperation among egoistic actors. In the preface the
author addresses the issue of cooperation after the end of the
Soviet empire and with the renewed dominance of the United States,
in security matters, as well as recent scholarship on
cooperation.
