Game theory, despite its frivolous-sounding name, gives us a unified approach to understanding social phenomena. It helps us understand not just the way people play games in the usual sense, like tic-tac-toe, chess or poker, but the way they behave in complex social situations as well.
Examples of situations to which we will apply the theory include (but are not limited to): arms races, provision of public goods, competition between films, electoral campaigns, voting, auctions, and bargaining. There are no formal prerequisites, but some aptitude for logical or mathematical reasoning is desirable.
