Strategic Insights into the Jordan River Conflict

Abstract

This study illustrates the value of game theoretic methods in water resources conflict resolution by the application of the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (GMCR) to the Jordan River Conflict. The major objective of the paper is to show how GMCR can be readily applied to virtually any social conflict. The GMCR II decision support system, with its unique ability to handle socio-political conflicts, is used to model and analyze a generic version of this ongoing Middle-East conflict. The game model finds the equilibria of the game and suggests possible coalitions of conflicting parties.
