Game Theory" and Sustainable Development Paradigm
Social movements are networks of individuals and groups, often connected by shared ideologies and identities, who aim either to bring about or to resist changes in the societies to which they belong.
Sociologists have always attributed importance to these movements, not least because of their role in stimulating social change and their capacity to challenge political legitimacy, making or breaking social order. The sustainable development movement is an example of social movement.
We are in a conflict between the sustainable and the anti sustainable development paradigm players.
I believe we, as the people who wish a better situation for the Earth have to apply all of legal tools and knowledge to win the game. I think it will be nice if we apply the Game Theory in the Sustainable Development process.
Thanks to the 1994 Nobel Memorial prize to Nash, Selten and Harsanyi, game theory and its application to economics. Game theory is a distinct and interdisciplinary approach to the study of human behavior. The disciplines most involved in game theory are mathematics, economics and the other social and behavioral sciences.
I guess game theory can help us as the civil society activists to choose the better strategies for our goals on the way on sustainable development targets.
