授業の概要と方法

This class prepares students with basic knowledge of game theory, which is a key tool to analyze international relations. Also, we analyze specific global political economy issues using game theory, such as war and peace, global warming, voting and election, etc. In a broader sense, this course uses game theory as the mathematical tool to study situations of strategic interdependence.

受講生の到達目標

Students are expected to gain scientific and rigorous training to analyze issues in global political economy, and in an even broader sense, to analyze and evaluate the process and consequence of policy making.
Goals include: (1) build up normative foundations of policy making; (2) understanding how strategic interactions create room for public policy to improve social welfare; (3) Methodologically, buiid up baisc understanding and analyzing methods of game theory.
