Military Intervention Game
In the strategic game shown in Figure 1, below, the military in some unidentified country is split between those who wish to intervene in the political system and launch a coup (overthrowing the civilian government) and those who wish to maintain their apolitical position as members of the armed forces. Both military factions prefer that the military act as a cohesive unit, however.
Figure 1: Normal Form Military Intervention Game
A similar situation between two military factions is shown in the extensive form game shown below. The key difference with the earlier game is that the faction that wishes to take over the civilian government makes the first move.
