nWhy did countries engage in a nuclear arms race? How do we make decisions when we dont have all the information? What makes international environmental cooperation possible? nGame theory is the study of how we make a decision when the outcome of our moves depends on the decisions of someone else. But its not just about predicting your opponents next play in a game of chess; conflict and cooperation lie at the heart of game theory, which is useful for understanding behaviour in everything from our social lives to business, global politics to evolutionary theory. n nIn Introducing Game Theory, economists Ivan and Tuvana Pastine explore this fascinating area, which looks beneath the surface of human behavior -- calling upon psychology, evolutionary biology, political science and sociology to explain why, when faced with a decision, we sometimes cooperate, sometimes clash, and sometimes act in a way that seems completely random. n nStylishly brought to life by regular Guardian illustrator Tom Humberstone, the book takes readers on a tour of the key ideas and thinkers, and puts you into a series of games that provide a new perspective on the world we live in.n
