international cooperation
Nations working together
International cooperation is coordinated effort between nations toward shared goals—trade agreements, climate accords, peacekeeping missions, scientific research.
The term implies voluntary collaboration rather than coercion: International cooperation on vaccine distribution saved millions of lives.
It often appears in diplomatic and policy contexts where unilateral action would be insufficient or counterproductive.
