Abstract This article utilizes the game theory to assess the feasibility and weaknesses of different methods to promote international judicial cooperation. It starts by justifying the game theory as a proper model to understand the pattern of interaction between states. It then applies typical games to analyse states’ decision-making process. It suggests that states should not update their domestic laws to unilaterally offer judicial cooperation to other countries even if reciprocity is adopted to urge other states to cooperate. The only effective means is through an international judicial cooperation treaty, which encounters relatively small compliance and enforcement problems. The first-mover disadvantage at the ratification stage is not a fundamental barrier and may disappear over time. The battle-of-the-sexes game at the negotiation stage can be mitigated through the facilitation of a reputable institute, increasing cooperation interests and needs and reducing cooperation standards.

This chapter looks at Europeanization through the lens of how the German Länder have responded to challenges posed by European integration since 1985. It does this by conceiving of ‘Europeanization’ as a two-way process in which the EU imposes adaptational pressures on, but is also subject to adaptational pressures from, the Länder. The chapter also uses the timescale of fifteen years to explore the dynamics of Europeanization. It finds that the Länder have persistently sought to minimize any perceived ‘misfit’ between the EU decision-making process and their domestic role as constituent units of the German federation. The nature of the misfit, and ideas on its resolution, have, however, changed over time as both the EU and Germany have adapted to the post-Cold War era. An initial concern for winning collective rights of access to a deepening EU is now being supplanted by a concern to protect individual Länder autonomy within the framework of the German member state from what is increasingly perceived as an unnecessarily interventionist EU.

The game theory (GT) is not only a part of mathematics, but also one of the most popular optimization techniques supporting decision making. Its achievements are currently used in many fields. However, this theory has a special place in economics and management. Operating on the market, companies make a number of decisions that resemble a game with moves made by players. It turns out that GT can also be successfully translated into management needs. The aim of the article is to answer the question about the possibilities of using game theory in management. A wide range of applications of this theory has been shown. Limitations related to its use in management were also indicated.

Game Theory is a mathematical approach to the study of decision making between individuals when each outcome depends on the decisions of others, ie, one should not make an arbitrary decision, but decide based on what they think the decision of their "opponent" will be, knowing that they think the same. Developed by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern in 1944 in the book Theory of Games and Economic Behavior, it had been very contested since its launch, but the works of a genius named John Nash, winner of the Nobel Prize in economics in 1994, ended these contestations. This work shows that the Game Theory was not limited to the field of economics, but expanded to other areas, such as biology, explaining strategies used by species to survive. As results are presented more than ten models based on the principles of Game Theory, among them the Prisoner's Dilemma, Ice Cream Vendors Game, Clean City Law and Warning Song between Bird.

In order to effectively alleviate the congestion of power exchange stations, the game theory was used to discuss the spatial characteristics of electric vehicle power exchange demand, analyze the decision making and game process of electric vehicle users specifically. Moreover, on the basis of the research, the specific way of setting the price of the exchange station was proposed and the game mathematical model was constructed.

The task of decision-making in constructing industry becomes more difficult because of rapid technical upgrowth. According to aims, circumstances and opportunity decisions are determined. Disagreement situation arises at this point. Uprising opportunities and influence of circumstances of aims, they are often contradicting each other. Constructing a building, one must look for decision of more favourable conditions for situation and minimum expenditure, but to guarantee a high reliability, so disagreement situation arises. Exacting requirements of quality logically are bound up with expensive realisation [4]. Decision must be optimum and as much as possible satisfy “goodness” indications of decision. However, “goodness” valuation is indefinite conception and disobeys black-and-white logic [Zadeh]. In this case one can understand decision like a conflict in the game theory, where the information is not always defined. To solve the problem the fuzzy sets theory can be used. Using the game theory, elements can be formulated indefinitely and a new model can be made [3]. Trying to estimate the aims of conflicts, the circumstances that influence the decision are divided into two groups. The first group—circumstances of inherent influence—defines what a decision-maker must attain (for example, to maximise quality) and describes strategy of the first player. The second group—circumstances of outward influence—defines what a decision-maker must estimate as a limitation (for example, to minimise price) and describes strategy of the second player. Dependence between inherent and outward circumstances in this step is formed. There is no clear limit in fuzzy sets theory between dependence (circumstance 1) and independence (circumstance 0) of elements on definite set. Dependence degree of element x on A set, is described by μ A (x) function (1), (2). The valuation in fuzzy sets theory takes place at three levels. At the first level meanings of dependence on inherent circumstances are calculated (1), (2), and matrix is determined (Fig 2). According to formula (3), dependence degree on each alternative is calculated. In the second level meanings of dependence on outward circumstances are calculated according to the formula (1), (2) and the matrix is filled in (Fig 3). At the third level the results of first two levels are summed. Using operator of minimum general matrix of decisions-making is determined (Fig 4), According to the general matrix, the indefinite matrix of decision-making is determined (Fig 5). Minimax principle makes the decision. The received result is optimal, because it satisfies the aim causing the conflict. In the paper, the example of a private house is selected, using the described method. This method may be used to make decisions, when the task is of conflicting character. Competently distributing circumstances of influence or parameters of valuation by two aspects (inherent and outward) it can be explained the mean of conflicting character, and interpretation using the described method can be made.

The dynamics of political participation of the Samin community in Bojonegoro show significant development of political literacy. This study is focused on answering the political literacy of the Samin community in voicing their aspirations in the General Election from the perspective of Fiqh Siyasah. The results of the study show that the level of political literacy of the Samin community is increasing. The indicator is that the enthusiasm of the Samin people in exercising their voting rights in the general election. In facing elections, the Samin community usually holds a community meeting led by the customary head, to determine the direction of their political aspirations. Over time, this tradition, although still valid, the results of its decisions are not binding. This means that the Samin people are given the freedom to make their own choices. This is different from previous times where the results of the deliberations were a collective decision in determining political aspirations. In the context of Fiqh Siyasah, the political literacy of the Samin community in the General Election is an exciting process of democratization, because the participation of the Samin community shows a growing awareness of living as a nation and a state within the frame of diversity. The practice of deliberation carried out by the Samin community is the application of the principle of deliberation in Islam, so that even though the results are not binding, the decision-making process creates a dialogue between community members to build an increasingly dynamic and progressive political literacy of the Samin community.
