A CONCISE FORMAT THAT USES GRAPHICS TO ILLUMINATE KEY PRINCIPLES
Each "game" is presented across a two-page spread. The first page uses a story from contemporary politics and explains how game theory helps us understand it. The facing page depicts the game graphically. Each "game" concludes with a summary of the basic principle and a puzzle for further thought.
A PRIMER ON BASIC GAMES, A GUIDE TO READING GRAPHS, AND A FULL GLOSSARY
The first sections of Political Games provide students with the basics of game theory and how to read the graphs that appear throughout the book. Glossary terms are bolded throughout and carefully defined at the end of the book.
A FLEXIBLE TABLE OF CONTENTS
The brief format and flexible table of contents of Political Games make it suitable as a main text or supplement for any course where game-theoretic approaches to politics are stressed.
