Violence, values, interests, and bonds are substitutable mechanisms for securing cooperation

Evidence

The relationship between violence and the other mechanisms suitable for inducing cooperation is threefold. First of all there is the relationship of substitution: violence substitutes for and can be substituted by (1) values — larger doses of omertd ensure lesser ones of violence; (2) interests, which can encourage cooperation and dispense with the need for violence; (3) personal bonds -— relatives and friends are by definition more likely to cooperate, and hence there is a lower demand on violence to keep them under control. — Diego Gambetta, Trust - Making and Breaking Cooperative…, 2213
