Synopsis
Product DescriptionIn an increasingly interdependent world where once antagonishtc societies and economies now exist within a global network, theneed to foster and maintain cooperation has never been more vital.
Cooperation explores an extraordinary growing awareness of the centrality of cooperation from the perspectives of a variety of disciplines, including biology, ecoscience, psychology, political science, business and economics.
