This is probaly the hardest to answer question. In political science, its referred to as the prisoners dillema. If there are two countries, and the both cooperate, they both come out ahead. However, if only one country cooperates and the other one doesn't, then the one that doesn't cooperate has an advantage. If neither cooperate, the results are still slightly negative.

Nations are basically businesses. Businesses will form partnerships and cooperate to achieve goals that they couldn't achieve alone. A good example is several investors working together to build a skyscraper that none of them could afford alone. Nations have bigger goals, like fighting world wars or hopefully taking on global warming some day, but the concepts are the same.
