This special issue focuses on game theory as a framework for analyzing strategic interaction, cooperation, conflict, and decision-making in complex systems. It showcases recent developments in game theory alongside its diverse applications, with emphasis on interaction dynamics and collective decision-making through theoretical, practical, and interdisciplinary approaches.

The issue particularly welcomes expanded versions of papers presented at the European Meeting on Game Theory 2026 (SING21), though other relevant submissions are also encouraged. Papers based on conference presentations must be substantially revised and extended with appropriate references to the original conference versions.

This special issue honors the contributions of Reinhard Selten to the fields of bounded rationality, behavioral economics, and game theory. The issue invites submissions that advance our understanding of how cognitive limitations and bounded rationality shape economic behavior and decision-making.

Contributions are welcome that explore the theoretical foundations and empirical applications of bounded rationality in various economic contexts, including but not limited to individual choice, strategic interaction, market behavior, and organizational decision-making.
