Much research exists discussing how globalization influences societies at the aggregate level, however we have no clear understanding of how this process influences individuals in their everyday social and economic interactions with those around them in their locality, their country, and the world. Our research goal is to address the fundamental question of whether and how an individual's participation in the global system influences the propensity to cooperate to provide public goods at the local, national, and global levels.Our research methodology is experimental. We replicate the same interactions among and between citizens in six countries: Argentina, Great Britain, Iran, Russia, South Africa and the United States. Participants from each country will represent varying degrees of participation in the global system and the research sample will be balanced across the categories of age, gender, and social-economic status. Participants will engage in a series of experimental interactions intended to make salient for them the tension between cooperating to increase overall local welfare, or cooperating to increase global welfare. This research is a first step toward understanding the degree to which people - who demonstrate differing levels of interconnectedness with the world - will cooperate to provide public goods at the local and global levels, and to explore why they do so. With this deepened understanding, we may be able to increase global cooperation and to reduce the monetary and human costs associated with non-provision of global public goods.

许多研究都在讨论全球化如何在总体层面上影响社会，然而，我们并不清楚这一过程如何影响个人在其所在地区、国家和世界与周围人的日常社会和经济互动中。我们的研究目标是解决一个基本问题，即个人参与全球体系是否以及如何影响在地方、国家和全球层面合作提供公共产品的倾向。我们的研究方法是实验性的。我们在六个国家的公民之间复制相同的互动：阿根廷、英国、伊朗、俄罗斯、南非和美国。来自每个国家的参与者将代表参与全球体系的不同程度，研究样本将在年龄、性别和社会经济地位的类别之间进行平衡。参与者将参与一系列实验性的互动，旨在突出合作增加整体当地福利和合作增加全球福利之间的紧张关系。这项研究是了解人们将在多大程度上合作在地方和全球层面提供公共产品并探索他们为什么这样做的第一步。有了这种加深的理解，我们或许能够加强全球合作，并减少与不提供全球公共产品相关的金钱和人力成本。
