Abstract

Most intergroup conflicts arise from rivalry over limited resources, malicious disturbance, or hostile attitudes; therefore, it is critical to investigate individuals’ behaviors involved in intergroup conflicting contexts. Focusing on cooperation issues among individuals, in this study we establish an evolutionary game framework for analyzing cooperation and conflicts that arise within and inter-groups of intergroup conflicting networks. We first model the intergroup conflicting networked evolutionary games (ICNEGs). Then, we analyze the ICNEGs and prove that the evolution of ICNEGs can be expressed as a logical dynamic system. Finally, we apply the obtained results to a simplified Israeli-Palestinian conflict scenario. Our case study demonstrates that only by adopting suitable initial strategy profiles can a certain scale of group cooperation be continuously generated without suffering casualties.
