Description
A series of closely interrelated essays on game theory, The Strategy of Conflict deals with an area in which progress has been least satisfactory—the situations where there is a common interest as well as conflict between adversaries: negotiations, war and threats of war, criminal deterrence, extortion, tacit bargaining.
It proposes enlightening similarities between, for instance, manoeuvring in limited war and in a traffic jam; deterring the Russians and one's own children; the modern strategy of terror and the ancient institution of hostages.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Praised by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Schelling's work is celebrated for its lucid and compelling approach to the politics of threat and deterrence. The book introduced a unifying game theory framework that has profoundly influenced conflict resolution and social sciences, offering deep insights into strategic commitments, credible threats, and the nature of retaliation. Its analysis extends from international relations to economic and political strategies.
