At times, the absence of centralized international authority precludes attainment of common goals. Yet, at other times, nations realize mutual interests through cooperation under anarchy. Drawing on a diverse set of historical cases in security and economic affairs, the contributors to this special issue of "World Politics" not only provide a unified explanation of the incidence of cooperation and conflict, but also suggests strategies to promote the emergence of cooperation.".
