A 'social trap' is a situation where individuals, groups or organizations are unable to cooperate owing to mutual distrust and lack of social capital, even where cooperation would benefit all.

Reviews"This book should be required reading for doctoral programs across the full array of the social sciences....[This] book presents a nuanced theoretical argument that focuses on context and history of complex, cultural settings where choices are made by subjectively rational individuals within institutions that enhance or detract from the existence of trust among the participants over time....[This] reader has gained immensely from two close readings of the book and intends to assign it to her next graduate seminar.
