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.
