Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This book contains a unique collection of contributions from internationally reputed scholars in the social sciences. In each of the chapters, field experts analyze a particular example of cooperation in modern society, such as volunteering, resource management, taxpaying and political participation.

Synopsis:

Why do so many people volunteer to help others in need in society today? What makes people give up the convenience of driving their car to benefit a better environment? And why are citizens, in general, quite prepared to pay taxes to ensure adequate health care, and support for the elderly and unemployed? These are examples of a more fundamental question addressed in this book: why do people cooperate for the welfare of their community, state, or organization?

Cooperation in Modern Society is a unique collection of contributions from internationally reputed scholars across the social sciences.
