Global collective action

Todd Sandler

This book explains why the global community has been successful in correcting some recent large-scale problems, but has failed in addressing others. The analysis reaches from antibiotic-resistant microbes to greenhouse gases, from civil wars to international terrorism, and from the polluted atmospheres of cities to the depths of outer space
