Preferred term

game-theoretical approaches to power  

Definition(s)

  • Game theory analyzes social situations of interdependent decision making, wherein the outcome depends on the choices of two or more decision makers or players. By comparison, decision theory focuses on one-person games, or games against nature, wherein the outcome depends of the choice of one player and “nature,” which is assumed not to have preferences and whose actions instead occur with specified probabilities.
