I think a group have been applying Confrontation Analysis (a derivative of game theory) to a number of ethnic (and other) conflicts (e.g. Bosnia). There's a paper, written with a general involved in the conflict, at www.dramatec.com. [View full text and thread]

I would like to know if any research on Game theory has been applied to the following political scenario: several religious communities living in the same country.
Since I am a political science graduate, I would like to know if it is possible to apply Game Theory to the Middle East political situation. My first guess would be a case of Prisoners' Dilemma, whereby instead of cooperating, all religious communities end up fighting each others. But, I would like to know if any elaborate research was done on this subject.
