内容説明

In this path-breaking theoretical work, political scientist Steven Brams and mathematician Mark Kilgour show how game theory can be applied to the rigorous development and thoughtful analysis of several critical problems that afflict the security of nations, from the deterrence of foes who might launch attacks, to the stabilization of crises that could explode into wars. In addition, they analyze a variety of related questions, including the interlocking preferences that fuel arms races, the strategic impact that Star Wars may have on nuclear deterrence, and optimal strategies for verifying arms control treaties. Of interest to students on international relations and foreign policy as well as those concerned with the formal analysis of conflict, Game Theory and National Security provides new foundations for understanding the rational basis of international conflict.

内容説明

This theoretical work attempts to show how certain parts of game theory can be applied to the rigorous development and careful analysis of several critical problems that afflict the security of nations, from the deterrence of foes who might launch attacks to the stabilization of crises that could explode into wars. Distinguishing the book is the deductive character of the analysis, which enables the authors to go beyond basic strategic dilemmas, embellish them with a good deal of structure to capture the essential strategic features of the situations they model, and add solutions that are, in some sense, optimal.
