Milbank Professor of Politics and International Affairs, Princeton University»
Trust in International Cooperation challenges conventional wisdoms concerning the part which trust plays in international cooperation and the origins of American multilateralism. Brian C.

«'The role for 'trust' in world politics is often denied, taken for granted, or simply overlooked. This book asks excellent questions about how, when, and why states trust each other - and when they don't. Paying close attention to both domestic politics and international relations, Rathbun covers the most important cases of negotiating world order in the [twentieth] century and shows the important contribution of trust in all of them, often in counter-intuitive ways. It opens a door between history, psychology, and foreign policy that should never have been closed in the first place.' Ian Hurd, Associate Professor, Department of Political Science, Northwestern University»
«'How trust explains not only people's attitudes toward multilateralism but the design of international organizations is the subject of this highly original and timely book. It offers an important challenge to rationalist models of institutional creation, and is a must read for anyone interested in questions of world order and global governance.' Deborah Welch Larson, Professor of Political Science, University of California, Los Angeles»
«'Rathbun makes a compelling case for the importance of generalized trust in international relations. He shows how fundamental beliefs about whether other people tend to be trustworthy underlie attitudes towards international institutions. The book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the psychological foundations of current foreign policy debates.' Andrew Kydd, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Wisconsin»
