- In the Prisoner’s Dilemma, two people choose either to cooperate with each other or to act selfishly, not knowing what the other will choose.
- If one cooperates and the other doesn’t, the one who cooperated is at a disadvantage, creating a fear of betrayal.
Best Outcome with Cooperation:
- The dilemma shows that the best result for both is achieved through mutual cooperation, but mistrust can prevent this.
Case Study (International Relations): Each country might build up arms for self-protection, but if both do this, it leads to an arms race, making both countries less secure.
Why In News:
- Recently at the Goa Maritime Conclave, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh referred to the concept of “Prisoner’s Dilemma” to underscore the need for countries to collaborate with each other.
