    Do you have the rest of the paper? What is it Figure 3.2 of?

      Here's the thing, it's not even from a paper, it's from a slideshow with a discussion of International Relations. The slide before it reads:

      But states achieve cooperation fairly often because it is in their interest to do so.

      Reciprocity helps international cooperation emerge—norms and rules are enforced without central authority.
