Fang Deng

Unintended Outcomes of Social Movements

The 1989 Chinese Student Movement

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

By applying game theory to the study of social movements, and offering a dynamic model that depicts the 1989 Chinese student movement as a three-iteration game with incomplete information, this original work demonstrates how a new social system with four intrinsic properties, developed and led almost inexorably to the massacre at Tiananmen Square.
