dc.description.abstractWar games are currently enjoying a revival of interest and popularity within the American defense community. Strategists, analysts and policy-makers alike are turning more and more to gaming as a medium for education, planning and discovery. This thesis invesitgates the nature, utility and limitations of strategic-level war gaming as a tool for strategic planning and international negotiations. It offers a perspective on gaming different (yet complementary) to that of operatioins research: war games are viewed as sources of synthetic history, to be studied and interpreted by historical-type methods.
