Schellers Beitrag ist in vielfacher Hinsicht bemerkenswert: Der Autor reflektiert kritisch den spieltheoretischen Forschungsstand und bedient sich dann des Instruments der Computersimulation, um angesichts der diagnostizierten Defizite einen innovativen Beitrag zur Analyse von Verhandlungsprozessen zu leisten. Die Ausführungen sind gut strukturiert und, obwohl äußerst anspruchsvoll, gut nachvollziehbar.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
