Efforts to preserve the global environment are one of the greatest challenges of the present age. Thus, it is inevitable to have a considerable involvement in environmental issues, irrespective of the area of specialization. The field of environment is extremely broad. It involves a wide range of stages from the earth to life to human society. For this reason, subjects related to the environment are currently being segmented and specialized.

The content to be dealt mainly with orthodox noncooperative game theory, but includes recent topics on bounded rationality (evolutionary game theory) and experiments in strategic interaction, and part of cooperative game theory. The participants of this lecture should not be satisfied with superficially describing complex social phenomena, but through active analysis using the framework of such game theory, I want you to acquire a clear understanding of the mechanism of social phenomena and flexible thinking that excludes fixed ideas on social problems.
