Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Collective action problems occur when individuals or groups have conflicting interests and incentives to free-ride on the efforts of others, leading to suboptimal outcomes for the group as a whole.

Mutual interests may actually facilitate collective action, rather than impede it.
