Abstract

When the situation of a game is extremely uncertain, players should first define a general game framework. Such a game can be called a meta-game because the purpose of the game is to define the framework. Global problems are infinitely uncertain, and require a high degree of cooperation between international organizations that generally does not occur without some kind of catalytic coordination. The first objective of the meta-game is for all players to understand the process of global problem solving. The second objective is to understand team coordination. Sustaining such a massive coordination over a long period and retaining policy stability throughout the process are the basic requisites of complex problem solving. Sustained drive and energy, as well as a creative catalytic leadership style, are scarce skills within our society.
