Theorizing Revolutions and Conflicts: A Game Theoretic Analysis of the Arab Spring

The Cambridge Society for Economic Pluralism (CSEP) are excited to welcome Sebastian Ille to Cambridge. Dr Ille will present a general game theoretic approach to conflict. The Arab Spring will serve to exemplify the concepts of the model that is to be presented. We will observe how the frequency and types of violations of a normative and conventional framework, in which individuals interact, could play a significant role in causing a triggering event and in determining the likelihood of a conflict or revolution.
