Escalated conflict in a social hierarchy.
Animals that live in cooperative societies form hierarchies in which dominant individuals reap disproportionate benefits from group cooperation. The stability of these societies requires subordinates to accept their inferior status rather than engage in escalated conflict with dominants over rank. Applying the logic of animal contests to these cases predicts that escalated conflict is more like...
متن کاملThe Return on Social Bonds: Social Hierarchy and International Conflict
This paper takes game-theoretic and latent variable approaches to modeling international social hierarchies and their effect on conflict among states. I argue that, within these hierarchies, states adopts one of two roles—a dominant or a subordinate. Each resulting (dyadic) dominant–subordinate relationship is a social (informal) contract, in which the subordinate concedes some autonomy in exch...

We 4nd that area and population distributions of nations follow an inverse power-law, as is known for cities, but with a di7erent exponent. To interpret this result, we develop a growth model based on the geometrical properties of partitioning of the plane. The substantial agreement between the model and the actual nation distributions motivates the hypothesis that the distribution of aggregate...
متن کاملEscalated fighting despite predictors of conflict outcome: solving the paradox in a South American cichlid fish
Several studies have found behavioural differences between the interactions of opponents, early in a conflict. These differences consistently predict which individual will be the winner. Surprisingly, opponents appear not to use this information: they continue fighting and even proceed to highly damaging escalation. We attempted to resolve this paradox in a series of experiments on interactions...

Sociology suggests diff...
