Description: "Cooperation Without Trust? employs a wide range of examples illustrating how parties use mechanisms other than trust to secure cooperation. Lack of trust motivates people to reduce risks and establish institutions that promote cooperation. Cooperation Without Trust? suggests that trust may be a complement to governing institutions, not a substitute for them."--Jacket.
