Two-level game theory is a political model, derived from game theory, that illustrates the domestic-international interactions between states. It was originally introduced in 1988 by Robert D. Putnam in his publication "Diplomacy and Domestic Politics: The Logic of Two-Level Games".
Robert David Putnam was born on January 9, 1941, in Rochester, New York, [10] and grew up in Port Clinton, Ohio, [11] where he participated in a competitive bowling league as a teenager. [12] Putnam graduated from Swarthmore College in 1963 where he was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity.
Positive political theory (PPT), explanatory political theory, or formal theory is the study of politics using formal methods such as social choice theory, game theory, and statistical analysis. In particular, social choice theoretic methods are often used to describe and (axiomatically) analyze the performance of rules or institutions.
In my opinion, and as it is stated by Robert Putman in his article "Diplomacy and domestic politics: the logic of two-level-games" in his book "International Organization" (1988) win-sets are: "the set of all level I agreements that would "win" - that is gain the necessary majority among the [Level II] constituents" whereas Level I is the international level and Level II is the domestic level.
Games of perfect information have been studied in combinatorial game theory, which has developed novel representations, e.g. surreal numbers, as well as combinatorial and algebraic (and sometimes non-constructive) proof methods to solve games of certain types, including "loopy" games that may result in infinitely long sequences of moves. These ...

Game theorists commonly study how the outcome of a game is determined and what factors affect it. In game theory, a strategy is a set of actions that a player can take in response to the actions of others. Each player’s strategy is based on their expectation of what the other players are likely to do, often explained in terms of probability. [2]
The Game Theory Society (GTS) [2] is a society for the promotion of research, teaching and application of game theory. It was founded in 1999 by Ehud Kalai and Robert Aumann [ 3 ] and is registered in the Netherlands .
