The Strategy of Conflict, written by Thomas C. Schelling, is a classic work in the field of game theory and its applications to international relations. Schelling explores the dynamics of conflict and cooperation, examining how actors make strategic choices in situations of uncertainty. The book provides a theoretical framework for understanding the strategies employed by states in international negotiations and conflicts. Schelling's insights into the psychology of decision-making and the role of communication have had a profound impact on the study of international relations and strategic thinking.
