The question of how cooperation and social order can evolve from a
Hobbesian state of nature of a "war of all against all" has always
been at the core of social scientific inquiry. Social dilemmas are
the main analytical paradigm used by social scientists to explain
competition, cooperation, and conflict in human groups. The formal
analysis of social dilemmas allows for identifying the conditions
under which cooperation evolves or unravels. This knowledge informs
the design of institutions that promote cooperative behavior. Yet
to gain practical relevance in policymaking and institutional
design, predictions derived from the analysis of social dilemmas
must be put to an empirical test. The collection of articles in
this book gives an overview of state-of-the-art research on social
dilemmas, institutions, and the evolution of cooperation. It covers
theoretical contributions and offers a broad range of examples on
how theoretical insights can be empirically verified and applied to
cooperation problems in everyday life. By bringing together a group
of distinguished scholars, the book fills an important gap in
sociological scholarship and addresses some of the most interesting
questions of human sociality.
