Review: "This book examines how nations and other key participants in the global community address problems requiring coordinated efforts of two or more entities, that is, collective action. The global community has achieved successes on some issues such as eradicating smallpox, but on others, such as the reduction of drug trafficking, efforts to coordinate nations' actions have not been sufficient. This book identifies the factors that promote or inhibit successful collective action at the regional and global level for an evergrowing set of challenges stemming from augmented cross-border flows associated with globalization."--BOOK JACKET.
