Sociología game theory political theory comparative politics Seeking to conduct an inventory of the arguments used by game theory proponents, the article assessesboth this theory and a set of theoretical principles that extend the scope from rational choice tointerdependent decision-making and a type of formal methodology. The article identifies some keyqualities, like the theory´s emphasis on actors and strategic choices and its ability to generate logicallyrigorous and internally consistent predictions. But it also discusses many of the theory´s shortcomings.Therefore, the challenge faced by scholars of comparative politics is to consider the new perspectivesoffered by game theory and to make use of its qualities, without losing sight of a series of relevant longstandingissues from the social sciences that this approach is not prepared to solve. 2000 artículo científico 0011-5258 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=21843305 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=218 Dados - Revista de Ciências Sociais application/pdf Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro Dados - Revista de Ciências Sociais (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.43 |
