Game Theory

Explore the complexities of political strategy with “Game Theory,” a key volume in the “Political Science” series. This book delves into how mathematical models reveal the dynamics of conflict and cooperation among rational actors.

Chapters Overview:

1. Game Theory — Foundations of strategic decision-making.

2. Nash Equilibrium — Stable strategies against opponents' actions.

3. Evolutionarily Stable Strategy — Strategies that resist invasion in populations.

4. Chicken (Game) — Balancing risk and reward in strategic interactions.

5. Coordination Game — Achieving mutual benefits through strategic alignment.

6. Centipede Game — Trust and betrayal in sequential decision-making.

7. Strategy (Game Theory) — Tactics for optimal outcomes.

8. Non-Cooperative Game Theory — Independent strategic decisions without binding agreements.

9. Backward Induction — Reasoning backward for optimal strategies.

10. Symmetric Game — Strategies in games with identical sets.

11. Folk Theorem — Strategy evolution in repeated games.

12. Correlated Equilibrium — Optimal outcomes with correlated strategies.

13. Outcome (Game Theory) — Potential results of strategic interactions.

14. Subgame Perfect Equilibrium — Optimal strategies at every decision stage.

15. Quantal Response Equilibrium — Probabilistic approach to equilibrium.

16. Epsilon-Equilibrium — Near-equilibrium in imperfect information contexts.

17. Cooperative Bargaining — Negotiation strategies for mutual benefits.

18. Jean-François Mertens — Contributions of the influential game theorist.

19. Mertens-Stable Equilibrium — Stable outcomes in strategic scenarios.

20. M Equilibrium — Multiple equilibria and strategic diversity.

21. Berge Equilibrium — Extensive-form game equilibria.

“Game Theory” enhances understanding of strategic decision-making and offers practical insights for professionals and enthusiasts alike.
