Cooperative Complexity: The Next Level of Global Economic Governance
Cooperative Complexity (Cambridge University Press, 2025) explores the 21st-century phenomenon of international organizations collaborating with each other, particularly in economic domains. The book argues that while this cooperation is politically efficient, it may lead to economically inefficient outcomes. Using a mix of theoretical modeling and diverse research methods, Clark examines the intricate relationships between international organizations. The work emphasizes the importance of understanding the supply side of international finance to gain insights into global economic governance's present and future.
