Description

This special issue aims to promote research on game theory as a fundamental framework for analyzing strategic interaction, cooperation, conflict, coordination, and decision-making in complex systems. The issue aims to showcase recent developments in game theory and its diverse applications, with particular emphasis on interaction dynamics and collective decision-making, encompassing theoretical contributions, practical applications, and interdisciplinary approaches.

In particular, we encourage participants of the European Meeting on Game Theory 2026 (SING21) to submit complete and expanded versions of the papers presented at the conference. Nevertheless, submissions of other relevant papers are also welcome. Papers based on conference presentations should be significantly revised and extended, and they should appropriately reference the original conference version where relevant.

All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process coordinated by the Guest Editors. Accepted papers will be published online individually, before print publication.
