Global Cooperation and the Human Factor in International Relations (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Messner, Dirk; Weinlich, Silke

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book aims to pave the way for a new interdisciplinary approach to global cooperation research. It does so by bringing in disciplines whose insights about human behaviour might provide a crucial yet hitherto neglected foundation for understanding how and under which conditions global cooperation can succeed. It provides the state of the art on human cooperation in selected disciplines (evolutionary anthropology, decision-sciences, social psychology, complexity sciences), written by leading experts. The book also offers reflections on how to deal with the epistemological and methodological challenges that arise when bringing micro, meso and macro levels together.
