RESUMEN Los mecanismos de cooperacion, basados en confanza, presentan dependencia de sus condiciones iniciales. Se ha probado que es posible promover y mantener la cooperacion a traves de la combinacion de mecanismos usando un modelo de simulacion sobre la crisis del CO2. Los resultados sugieren que la cooperacion puede ser promovida y sustentada con la combinacion de estos mecanismos. Los experimentos de simulacion ofrecen soporte a la hipotesis de que es posible administrar la cooperacion en dilemas sociales de gran escala incluso si las condiciones iniciales de confanza no son sufcientes para esperar altos niveles de accion colectiva. PALABRAS CLAVE : Gestion de la cooperacion, Dilemas sociales a gran escala, Mecanismos, Confanza, Dependencia de las condiciones iniciales. Testing the possibility to manage cooperation in CO2 crisis through mechanisms to face the dependence of the initial condition of trust using a simulation model ABSTRACT The mechanism of cooperation based on trust presents dependence to its initial conditions. We tested the possibility to promote and sustain cooperation through a combination of mechanisms using a simulation model in the CO2 crisis. Our results suggest cooperation can be promoted and sustained with our combination of mechanisms. The simulation experiments offer support to our hypothesis about the possibility to manage cooperation in large-scale social dilemmas even if the trust’s initial conditions are not enough to expect high levels of collective action.
