The Application of Game Theory in Policy Implementation Research:Literature Review and Prospects
Public policy is an important research direction of political science and a secondary discipline of public administration.As an important part of public policy research,policy implementation research is in the development stage of absorbing the achievements of other disciplines and exploring adaptive theories and research methods.Among them,game theory occupies an important position in the theoretical and methodological system of policy implementation research.Based on the review of game research in policy implementation,this article summarizes the conceptual game analysis approach,the formal game analysis approach and their application in policy implementation research,discusses the implications and limits of the game theory analysis for promoting policy implementation research.Finally,this article extends the discussion on the role of evolutionary game theory in promoting the methodological innovation of policy implementation research.By introducing and evaluating game theory,the ability to explain complex policy implementation phenomena can be enhanced,while the professional quality and scientific level of policy science can be improved.
