By monitoring the behavior of states and reporting on their activities, institutions create transparency and accountability, which can encourage cooperation. States are more likely to cooperate when their actions are visible to others and there are consequences for failing to comply with agreed-upon norms or rules. Coercive force (A) and punishment (D) may have short-term effects, but can ultimately lead to resentment and resistance. Changing states' preferences (B) may be difficult or impossible, as preferences are often deeply rooted and shaped by historical, cultural, and societal factors.
