Rapid developments in technology, communication, industrial 
organization, economic integration, political reforms and international 
trade have made it increasingly imperative to recognize the causes and 
effects of strategic interdependencies and interactions. A strategic 
approach to decision-making is crucial in areas such as trade 
negotiations, foreign and domestic investments, capital accumulation, 
pollution control, market integration, regional cooperation, development 
and implementation of new technology, arms control, international 
resource extraction, network sharing, and competitive marketing.

Since its inception, game theory has contributed significantly to the 
foundations of decision-making. As socio-economic and political problems 
increase in complexity, further advances in methodology, techniques, 
empirical investigations and applications of game theory are called for.

International Game Theory Review (IGTR) has been initiated in response 
to this need. Addressing and reviewing designs, problems, solutions, and 
applications pertaining to the game theoretic analysis of strategic 
decisions, IGTR aims at maintaining a balanced interest between theory 
and applications. Game theoretic reasoning possesses a vast potential in 
social, economic, political and military affairs, and game theory can be 
advanced and enriched by the investigation of issues drawn from 
real-world decision-making.

IGTR is a refereed quarterly journal published by World Scientific. It 
emphasizes rigorous analysis, and will offer up-to-date insights and 
perspectives through original research in game theory and its 
applications. It welcomes game-oriented papers from all fields of study.

IGTR will publish both original articles and state-of-the-art surveys, 
and will seek to maintain a balanced orientation between game-theoretic 
modeling and practical implications. Theoretical significance as well as 
empirical relevance are key criteria for acceptance of an article, and 
IGTR will be accessible to readers from a wide range of disciplines. 
IGTR will feature:

    1. Regular articles on theory, methodology and application of games;
    2. A 'Notes Section' for short papers, technical notes, 
communications, comments and critiques;
          1. Case studies that enhance the understanding of the practice 
of decision-making;
          2. Contributions that address issues pertaining to 
communication and interaction between researchers and policy makers;
          3. Papers dealing with numerical analysis, simulations, 
computational algorithms and computer software.
