Actors will cooperate and fight, and not care what each other do. There"s cooperation and bargaining: cooperation is an interaction in which two or more actors adopt policies that make at least one actor better off relatively to the status quo without making others worse off. Coordination - a type of cooperative incorporation, in which actors benefit from making the same choices and subsequently have no incentive not to comply. Like driving on the same side of the road. Collaboration - type of interaction in which actors gain benefit from working together but nonetheless have incentives not to comply with any agreement. Many actors want to provide a public good. Public goods are nonexcludable and nonrival in consumptions. Nobody wants to pay for public goods. Compliance - cooperative interactions hinge on this. Entices more actors to join in on the game.
