Game theory in international relations: Case study of invasion to Czechoslovakia in 1968

This present thesis aims to analyse Czechoslovak crisis in 1968 using the game theoretic approach. In the theoretical part of thesis are outlines the basics of game theory, its possibilities and main assumptions as well as the traits that it has in common with some theories of international relations. Consequent part begins with the description of historic events during Czechoslovak crisis of 1968. International circumstances, causes and consequences are also summarized in this part. The practical part of the thesis contains analysis of rational solutions of game-theoretic models that were chosen on the grounds of compatibility with historic events. The outcomes of models were afterwards compared with those historic, to conclude the rational or irrational behavior of the states according to game theory during the crisis.
