Summary: The authors postulate that game theory is a useful tool to analyze both the actions of terrorists and a government's response to terrorism. Terrorists respond to how governments respond to them, and vice versa; thus by using game theory to study terrorism, the analyst may be able to come to some conclusions as to which actions are appropriate for a government to take to mitigate the threat of terrorism. The article highlights 6 reasons why game theory is appropriate to the study of terrorism: • Game theory captures the strategic interactions between terrorists and a targeted government, where actions are interdependent and, thus, cannot be analyzed as though one side is passive. • Strategic interactions among rational actors, who are trying to act according to how they think their counterparts will act and react, characterize the interface among terrorists (hardliners vs. .pdf Begegnungen B1.
Moderates) or among alternative targets (various governments). • In terrorist situations, each side issues threats and promises to gain a strategic advantage.

• Terrorists and governments abide by the underlying rationality assumption of game theory, where a player maximizes a goal subject to constraints. • Game-theoretic notions of bargaining are applicable to hostage negotiations and terrorist campaign-induced negotiations over demands. • Uncertainty and learning in a strategic environment are relevant to all aspects of terrorism, in which the terrorists or government or both are not completely informed. As an example of using game theory to re-assess a governments policy towards terrorism, the article investigates the usefulness of the 'no-negotiation' policy. The logic of the no-negotiation policy is that terrorists will not take hostages if there is nothing to gain from the undertaking, i.e. A government will not concede to their demands. By using game theory to develop a model of this policy, however, it becomes quickly apparent that the policy is of little value in deterring terrorists.
Learning module: Introduction to game theory and negotiation Learning module: Introduction to game theory and negotiation This site is a part of the. This learning module is an introduction to game theory, negotiation and a method to reach Pareto optimal solutions for games.
It consists of four parts: • The theory part presents the basic concepts in game theory and negotiation analysis. The theory part also presents the jointly improving direction method that can be used to reach one Pareto solution for the game.
• Example case illustrates a simple negotiation problem. • The assignment has two parts a and b.
It is to be completed in two person groups. The answers can be written on a given report template. • You develop a game tree for one game. You find analytically a Pareto solution for another game. • You solve the example case by applying the software, which is an implementation of the method of the jointly improving direction method. • In the evaluation part you are asked to give feedback about the learning module. • If you have any questions, please, do not hesitate send your questions to The completion of the module is expected to take 3-6 hours.
