Abstract

Currently, the political networks is one of the most promising approaches to studying of public policy, however, there are drawbacks. For this reason, this study proposes to combine political networks with coalitional game theory to create an interdisciplinary model. Because, with the appearance of cooperation as new way of communication, the need to analyze the behavior and interactions of decentralized structures with the government, as well as analysis of the impact of such networks on the process of developing and implementing solutions becomes apparent. Using of such a model will allow the actors to develop effective strategies for conflict resolution and will allow more accurately analyze the interaction of a large number of both state and non-state actors who share common goals and interests. The study proved that the model can be used to predict the behavior of actors, depending on whether they have the determining characteristics and resources.
