内容説明

This book argues that game theory is a useful source of deep insight into politics. The author provides a comfortable introduction to game theory for students without advanced training in mathematics who might otherwise avoid the subject and applies the tools of game theory to simplified examples of interesting political phenomena including elections, legislative processes and international conflict. Ordeshook uses graphs, diagrams and figures to explain his points and includes exercises and problems for students to solve. The book should provide a useful background to game theory that will allow students to read most of the literature that makes use of a game theoretic analysis. The book will be of interest to students of international relations, strategic studies and political theory and will also appeal to students of business and economics who wish to learn how the tools of contemporary economic theory can be applied more broadly.

内容説明

First published in 1992, A Political Theory Primer is designed as an introductory course for students in the application of game theory to modeling political processes. Examining those very phenomena that power political machineries--elections, legislative and committee processes, and international conflict--the book attempts to answer fundamental questions about their nature and function. Included at the end of each chapter is a set of exercises designed to allow students to practice the construction and analysis of political models. Although the text assumes only training at the basic algebra level, the student who completes a course around this text will be equipped to read nearly all the professional literature that makes use of game-theoretic analysis. Each chapter also contains suggestiosn for further reading for those students who want to broaden their learning and expertise.
