Abstract

Domestic politics and international relations are fertile fields for the analysis using multi-agent simulation. Both theoretically and empirically, such a technique can serve the development of political science. To attract scholarly attention, some illustrative examples may be helpful. Herein, more or less realistic analyses of different types of interactions between different types of agents are outlined: (1) the White House during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962; (2) three-layered interrelationship between voters, politicians and political parties; (3) the long-lasted civil war in the Sudan; and (4) trade friction in interdependent world. Note that the same “simulator” was used in all those analyses. This multi-purpose “simulator,” which has been developed in Japan, is introduced herein. Finally, some methodological possibilities are suggested.
