Abstract
This article argues that community-building efforts across borders are motivated by traditional realist concerns about security rather than idealistic beliefs in universal principles. The creation of sustainable, cross-border institutions will come about because governments recognize that they are unable to meet basic challenges without increased cooperation. The emergence of common norms comes about through cooperation in coping with global challenges, not via the imposition of political systems or the exercise of hegemonic power.
