THE USE OF GAME THEORY IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Presented by: Prof. Richard Birke & Association for Dispute Resolution, Northern California
January 24, 2003, Friday, 12:00-4:30 p.m.
Room 525, Golden Gate University, 536 Mission Street, San Francisco (near Montgomery Street BART) Does an argument with your teenage daughter over her messy room have anything in common with the Cold War? Do problems at work have anything in common with frequent flier programs?
According to game theory,
conflicts all share certain characteristics In all conflicts, parties face choices about whether to work with or against the other side. In all conflicts, information is passed from one side to the other -- some verbal, some written, and much non-verbal or written "between the lines." Parties also consider whether this is a "one-shot" deal or part of a longer-term relationship, and they think about whether their approach to this conflict will have an impact on their reputation. There are a great many more such common characteristics.
Game theory can help you:
- Strip conflict down to its essential elements
- Examine and compare seemingly disparate conflicts
- Learn whether a successful technique applied in one realm might work in another
- Consider how approaches to Wall Street trading may help with the resolution of a bitterly contested divorce
