coalitional

This is an example of coalitional and bureaucratic drift working counter to each other.

People already a part of coalitional groups seek to protect their membership by exhibiting their value to the group.

And, elephants exhibit different coalitional dynamics in the different levels of their societal organization.

Coalitional game theory is a branch of game theory that deals with cooperative behavior.

(Equivalently, it is a coalitional game that assigns either 1 or 0 to each coalition.)

The relationship between bureaucratic and coalitional drift is a disputed part of the bureaucratic drift theory.

Coalitional rationality: for all subsets (coalitions) .

In a coalitional game, the key idea is to study the formation of cooperative groups, i.e., coalitions among a number of players.

In this case the assumption implies that irrespective of the division of the coalitional payoff, members of the coalition enjoy the same total utility.

Butler thus eschews identity politics in favor of a new, coalitional feminism that critiques the basis of identity and gender.

Although there are differing examples that help determine coalitional amounts from normal games, not all appear that in their function form can be derived from such.

Washington needs allies and partners in order to extricate itself from the current systemic crisis, and that will require not unilateral actions, but multilateral coalitional diplomacy.

A coalitional game is simple if payoffs are either 1 or 0, i.e., coalitions are either "winning" or "losing".

Symbolically, if is the coalitional worth function associating to each coalition measured subset of a measurable set that can be thought as without loss of generality.

The former is pleased by policies that continue to reflect their preferences while the latter is pleased that both bureaucratic and coalitional drift are protected against.

Coalitional psychology (CP) is presented as another alternative to TMT, which proposes that there is an evolutionary tendency to seek safety in groups (coalitions) as a reaction to adaptive threats.

In 1989, Murray Horn and Kenneth Shepsle proposed that coalitional drift, the phenomenon of present legislation being overwritten by the changing views of political coalitions, is a trade-off to bureaucratic drift.

In this context, coalitional game theory proves to be a powerful tool for modeling cooperative behavior in many wireless networking applications such as cognitive radio networks, wireless system, physical layer security, virtual MIMO, among others.

Formally, the game (coalitional game) consists of a finite set of players , called the grand coalition, and a characteristic function from the set of all possible coalitions of players to a set of payments that satisfies .

Contrary to Horn and Shepsle, Macey argues that coalitional drift and bureaucratic drift aren't necessarily opposing forces, but that the careful construction of an agency's structure and design can mitigate the costs of both types of drift.

'Coalitional in Nature' "The A.N.C. from its very inception has been coalitional in nature," said David Welsh, who is professor of southern African studies at the University of Cape Town.
