Game Theory and Nuclear Stability in Northeast Asia

Abstract

This report documents the Game Theory and Nuclear Stability in Northeast Asia Workshop held at APL on August 15-16, 2018. The objectives of the workshop were to (1) assess the utility of game theory in providing insight into multilateral nuclear stability, focusing on the North Korean nuclear crisis; (2) understand the types of problems game theory can be most useful in helping to solve; and (3) address communication and motivational disconnects between the policy and game theory communities. Additionally, the workshop explored how these communities can work together to produce more policy-relevant games and collaborate on future work. Because the North Korean nuclear crisis presents a clear challenge to multilateral stability, directly involving at least six countries, there is urgency in evaluating alternative policies to resolve it.
