After Hegemony
Book • 2005
After Hegemony examines international cooperation among states in the absence of a dominant global leader.
Robert Keohane argues that international regimes, defined as sets of rules, norms, and procedures governing state behavior, can facilitate cooperation even when a hegemon no longer exists.
The book synthesizes rational choice theory and institutionalism to explain how regimes reduce transaction costs, enhance information sharing, and foster credible commitments.
Keohane explores the conditions under which states find it mutually beneficial to adhere to international agreements and analyzes the role of reciprocity and reputation in sustaining cooperation.
By challenging the realist assumption that cooperation is only possible under hegemony, After Hegemony provides a theoretical framework for understanding the resilience and adaptability of international governance structures in a multipolar world.
