Question 4

Why do common external threats and superordinate goals both lead to greater cooperation between conflicting parties?

Accepted Answer

Common external threats and superordinate goals both lead to greater cooperation between conflicting parties because they create a sense of shared purpose and urgency. When two parties are faced with a common external threat, such as a natural disaster or a rival group, they are more likely to put aside their differences and work together in order to protect themselves or achieve a common goal. This is because the threat forces them to recognize that their individual interests are less important than the collective interest in survival or success.

Similarly, superordinate goals, which are goals that can only be achieved through cooperation between conflicting parties, also foster greater cooperation. When conflicting parties realize that they need each other in order to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome, they are more likely to set aside their differences and work together towards that goal. This creates a sense of interdependence and mutual reliance, which can lead to greater cooperation and collaboration.

In both cases, the presence of a common external threat or a superordinate goal shifts the focus from individual interests and conflicts to a shared interest in survival or success. This can help to break down barriers and build trust between conflicting parties, ultimately leading to greater cooperation.
