Coordination and Organization Confer Advantage

Author:

Goodin Robert E.

Abstract

AbstractThis chapter extends Chapter 5’s categorization of ‘coordination problems’ in relation to languages. In addition to ‘pure coordination games’ (where benefits are equal for all parties) and ‘unequal coordination games’ (where different coordinated outcomes are better for some than others), there are also imperatives to coordinate in ‘assurance game’ (‘Stag hunt’) and ‘Prisoners’ Dilemma’ situations. Such coordination can be accomplished by various mechanisms: formal mutual agreements; shared norms or conventions; mutual adjustment (each responding to the other’s moves); or mutual alignment (each doing what they think is best from the point of view of the collective). Organizations are the institutional embodiment of such coordination, although even in the most institutionalized organization much of the coordination is of a more informal sort. Organization and ongoing schemes of coordination more generally inevitably embody distributional biases that advantage some over others, and recurringly so insofar as the same structures persist over time. This chapter concludes the book’s discussion of specific mechanisms for perpetuating injustice.
