Game theory and the variable of international security

Abstract

Game theory is one of the modern methods of operations researches that can be used in making strategic decisions in cases  and situations characterized by competition between international players, such that each party seeks to achieve its interest at the  expense of the other party, and the decision maker here cannot control  the variables affecting him/her under the situations and  circumstances. Immediately, game theory aims to reach a specific  strategy that achieves the interest of the decision maker. Here, each country tries to perform the best possible to obtain the best  returns. The difficulty lies in that both competitors want to make  their returns as best as possible, taking into account the reactions  of the other competing parties. This theory is considered a means  to consider the most exciting issues of security and conflict in the  present and the future. Here the theory works to provide intellectual contributions in terms of analyzing and revealing the causes of conflict and the threat to security in many geographical  regions of the world.
