4. Formal Political Theory

Michael Chwe, UCLA, michael@chwe.net

This division welcomes papers which use formal mathematical models broadly speaking, including game theory, social choice theory, computational and agent-based approaches, and behavioral and other psychological approaches. Papers which are concerned with theoretical development as well as applied papers, including the application of formal models to new areas and experimental and field tests of formal models are welcomed. Papers which engage the 2008 conference theme, “Categories and the Politics of Global Inequalities,” are especially welcomed.
