In this paper, the importance of power as an influence on choice of strategies is analyzed, and the application of game theoretic concepts to real‐life social conflicts is discussed. In mixed‐motive games, the amount of control which a player can exercise over his own and his opponents' gains and losses obviously has an important influence on choices of strategy for both.
