Abstract

In 1983, the confrontation arose between the Rajaji national park authority and the Van Gujjars who have been living in this area since long back. The real conflict is characterized by somewhat forcible displacement of forest based families from their traditional habitat and disruption of their livelihoods. This ongoing conflict and negotiation is analyzed by using GMCR, a game theoretic model. The game theoretic approach assumes that each player has knowledge, representability and executability. But, in the real world case, the stakeholders (players) seldom meet all the qualification of a player in the sense of game theory. Here, an attempt has been made to systematically categorize the player, e.g., null player, intermediate player and complete player in a game and to find out how their positions affect the structure of the game and subsequently their strategic choices. Another aim of this paper is to analyze the social network formation mechanism in conflict resolution process and their policy implications.
