This book analyzes various aspects of international interactions designed to deal with shared policy problems. Such policy problems can include trans-boundary problems like people, pollution, or goods literally going across international boundaries; common property problems like the oceans, Antarctica, or the atmosphere, which nobody owns but are a kind of common good that need to be regulated or else expanded or substituted as in the case of natural resources; and simultaneous problems like health, education, and welfare about which all countries can learn from each other. The field differs from but builds on international relations, comparative public policy, and domestic policy studies. The field tends to be cross-national, interdisciplinary, multi-methodological, and multi-ideological.
