=== Strategy of conflict ===
Strategy of conflict, by [[Thomas Schelling]], is the study of negotiation during conflict and [[Strategic management|strategic behavior]] that results in the development of "conflict behavior". This idea is based largely on [[game theory]]. In "A Reorientation of Game Theory", Schelling discusses ways in which one can redirect the focus of a conflict in order to gain advantage over an opponent.

* Conflict is a contest. Rational behavior, in this contest, is a matter of judgment and perception.
* Strategy makes predictions using "rational behavior – behavior motivated by a serious calculation of advantages, a calculation that in turn is based on an explicit and internally consistent value system".
* Cooperation is always temporary, interests will change.
