Effective policy can place incentives in such a manner that the very pursuit of unfettered self-interest of the prisoners results in the desired outcome of getting both to confess to the crime.
Just as in the case of the prisoner's dilemma, the pursuit of unfettered self-interest will cause the fishermen who fish Atlantic swordfish (a common resource) to harvest them wisely and limit the number of fish each fisherman catches.
