《霸权之后》内容简介
本书是一项对发达资本主义国家间合作现象的全面研究。在没有如第二次世界大战后美国那样的单个国家主导的情况下,合作能够持续下去吗?为回答这一紧迫问题,罗伯特·基欧汉分析了促进世界政治经济中合作的制度或“国际机制”,并描述了美国霸权受到削弱时这些机制的演变。他驳斥了霸权衰落使合作不可能发生的观点,将国际机制视为促进自利行为体之间非集中化合作的工具,而不是世界政府的弱势替代物。

Introduction to the content of "After the Hegemony"
This book is a comprehensive study of the phenomenon of cooperation among advanced capitalist countries. Can cooperation be sustained without the dominance of a single country, as the United States did after World War II? To answer this pressing question, Robert Keohan analyzes the institutions, or "international mechanisms," that foster cooperation in the world's political economy and describes how those mechanisms evolved as U.S. hegemony was weakened. He rejects the idea that the decline of hegemony makes cooperation impossible, viewing international institutions as tools to promote decentralized cooperation among self-interested actors, rather than as a weak alternative to world government.
