The Application of Games Theory in Describing the Elections Competitions

The Games theory is a mathematical theory for designing, analyzing, and describing conflicting situations. In this game the players involved, on the basis of certain rules are exposed to several choices. The Games theory is a study instrument for use in different level of analysis, from economic, political and military approaches of the government till individual and group relations. By using this theory one can study the logical behaviour of the players and analyze the strategies that they use and give sound suggestions for improving the choices for achieving maximum benefit and suffering the minimum loss. This theory also introduces a set of related concepts that one can use them as a framework for thought about complilcated phenomena. The basic assumption of the Games theory is rationality of the behaviour and the choices of man. Nowadays the games theory is having application in various social and political fields including elections competitions. In the present article by a descriptive-analytical method and by making use of mathematical calculations tries to explain and analyze how Games theory can be used in illustrating elections competitions(rules, kind of game and the possible strategy). It seems that by determining the strategy, kind of game, consequences, the cost of probability matrice and the equilibrium point of the players based on the rules of the games, one can describe and explain elections competitions. The main question of the article is how can we describe and explain the elections competitions on the basis of Games theory?
