In Praise of Strategies
Johan van Benthem

Abstract:
Many current game logics only describe players' powers 
to achieve certain final outcomes. This paper surveys 
many different scenarios where it makes sense to also 
bring the strategies themselves explicitly into the 
logic, and it sketches the many new research problems 
which arise then. The text will appear in a monograph
documenting the interdisciplinary 2006 NIAS project 
"Games, Actions, and Social Software", edited by its
leaders Jan van Eijck & Rineke Verbrugge.
