I like to think through puzzles, even those of my own making,\u201d says\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sas.rochester.edu\/psc\/people\/view.php?fid=20182722\">Scott Tyson<\/a>, a game theorist. \u201cThat\u2019s probably typical for many academics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also likes to be precise.<\/p>\n<p>A new assistant professor of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sas.rochester.edu\/psc\/\">political science at the URochester<\/a>, Tyson was recruited from the University of Michigan, where he had been an assistant professor for two years.<\/p>\n<p>What gets him going are the underlying concepts\u2014the question of \u201cwhat are we really talking about?\u201d What\u2019s the fundamental idea?<\/p>\n<p>Tyson, whose family is originally from New Jersey, spent a great deal of his adolescence and young adulthood in Texas where he obtained his undergraduate degrees in pure mathematics and economics, and subsequently a MSc in economics from the University of Texas at Austin.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t until after his master\u2019s degree that he found his niche in political science, nudged by his advisor, an economics professor at Austin. Tyson, who has long enjoyed reading\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thegreatthinkers.org\/\">political thinkers like Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Immanuel Kant<\/a>, suddenly saw a way of marrying his research interests in game theory with his intellectual curiosity for political philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI liked the methodological rigor of economics, and math is something I have always enjoyed\u2014it\u2019s very natural to me. This was a way to unite my two passions,\u201d says Tyson.<\/p>\n<p>These days, his research focuses on formal political theory, political economy, conflict, authoritarian politics, and collective action. The main thrust of his inquiry looks at the relationship between various coordination problems that share some common element, and the role of factions in collective action.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, Tyson is interested in the theoretical implications of empirical models and how the two connect: \u201cWhat happens if this one thing and only this one thing were different? Would the conflict have happened the same way? How would it be different? Those are the questions we are always trying to ask,\u201d Tyson explains. \u201cAs scholars we are interested in causal questions. And the only way to assess that is to ask, \u2018what happens if this lever and this lever alone changed?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, in the real world changing just one variable is hard to do. That\u2019s why theorist Tyson cautions against forcing real-live examples to fit a specific theory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we looked for a concrete example we\u2019re going to miss so many things, because there\u2019s something extraordinarily special about that specific example. But maybe the more interesting theories are the ones that explain the more complicated cases,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Political science professor\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sas.rochester.edu\/psc\/stone\/index.html\">Randall Stone<\/a>, who chaired the departmental search committee, and whose own research in international political economy combines formal theory with quantitative methods and qualitative fieldwork, says the decision to hire Tyson \u201cwas a remarkably good fit, both for him and for us. Scott does very sophisticated game-theoretic research to model issues in international security, civil conflict and terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stone says he\u2019ll complement the political science department\u2019s traditional strength in mathematical modeling, and also bring a new set of technical tools. \u201cI expect him to play an important role in training graduate students and to help consolidate what has become a very strong set of junior faculty members in the department,\u201d says Stone.<\/p>\n<p>Most recently, Tyson has been studying political accountability in nondemocratic environments where government officials are sanctioned by nonelectoral institutions. Research on authoritarian politics has become more prevalent, he says, because of democratic backsliding worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe world that we live in is becoming less and less democratic every year,\u201d he says, pointing to examples in central and Eastern Europe\u2014Poland and Hungary. The most democratic the world has ever been, he notes, was right after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.<\/p>\n<p>Tyson seeks to get at the core of what makes an autocrat and whom he or she is accountable to\u2014which fractions or groups within a state. In other words, what makes the repression work, and why do certain groups oppress others at the behest of the autocrat?<\/p>\n<p>Right now, he\u2019s working on a theory to explain the causal part. As Tyson sees it, it\u2019s two-fold.<\/p>\n<p>First, the autocrat feels threatened by a certain group. Second, there\u2019s a relationship between the ruler and the agency that suppresses the threat. The central question is how the ruler compensates the group that carries out the oppression at his directive: is it a reorganization of the way government runs, more direct say in policy matters, or a monetary incentive?<\/p>\n<p>According to Tyson, researchers don\u2019t know yet what exactly causes oppression. The only robust finding to date is that military regimes tend to oppress more than others. But the causal path\u2014a bit like the chicken and the egg question\u2014is not clear: does having a powerful military within a government cause the government to oppress, or is the military apparatus so powerful because the autocrat had to rely on it in order to oppress his or her own opposition?<\/p>\n<p>Tyson, who earned his PhD in politics in 2015 at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyu.edu\/\">New York University<\/a>, was a postdoctoral fellow at the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/harris.uchicago.edu\/\">University of Chicago\u2019s Harris School of Public Policy Studies<\/a>\u00a0before joining the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/polisci\">University of Michigan\u2019s political science department<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A self-professed foodie, he and his wife Clare\u2014whose framed wedding photograph is the only decoration in his sparsely-decorated Rochester office so far\u2014like to go out and try new restaurants and cocktails. Their current favorite? Hands down\u2014Vesper Martini, a high proof cocktail invented by James Bond author Ian Fleming in 1953 and sipped onscreen by cool Daniel Craig\u2019s 007 in\u00a0<em>Casino Royale\u00a0<\/em>who provides\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CaV8_6Kta7o\">precise instructions\u00a0<\/a>for the drink\u2019s preparation.<\/p>\n<p>Tyson, of course, has the\u00a0<em>exact\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruceeats.com\/vesper-martini-recipe-760130\">recipe\u00a0<\/a>down pat. Shaken, not stirred. Everyone knows Bond\u2019s famous movie tagline.<\/p>\n<p>Not so fast, says Tyson. \u201cThat\u2019s a common misperception.\u201d\u00a0Fleming actually wrote the exact opposite (but the reversal sounded better to the screen writers).<\/p>\n<p>Stirred not shaken, Tyson insists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new assistant professor of political science, Tyson has been studying political accountability in nondemocratic environments where government officials are sanctioned by nonelectoral institutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":942,"featured_media":346152,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[456],"tags":[21462,16072,29052],"class_list":["post-345142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-society-culture","tag-department-of-political-science","tag-school-of-arts-and-sciences","tag-social-sciences"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Game theorist Scott Tyson puzzles over what makes autocrats successful<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Scott Tyson, a new assistant professor of political science, applies game theory to the study of authoritarian politics.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/game-theorist-scott-tyson-puzzles-over-what-makes-autocrats-successful-345142\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Game theorist Scott Tyson puzzles over what makes autocrats successful\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Scott Tyson, a new assistant professor of political science, applies game theory to the study of authoritarian politics.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/game-theorist-scott-tyson-puzzles-over-what-makes-autocrats-successful-345142\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"News Center\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-10-29T14:02:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2018-10-29T15:24:08+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/2018-10-24_Scott_Tyson_066.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sandra Knispel\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sandra Knispel\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"5 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/game-theorist-scott-tyson-puzzles-over-what-makes-autocrats-successful-345142\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/game-theorist-scott-tyson-puzzles-over-what-makes-autocrats-successful-345142\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Sandra Knispel\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/48a5dd20d1ade85ff52a0babb9a550a5\"},\"headline\":\"Game theorist Scott Tyson puzzles over what makes autocrats successful\",\"datePublished\":\"2018-10-29T14:02:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2018-10-29T15:24:08+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/game-theorist-scott-tyson-puzzles-over-what-makes-autocrats-successful-345142\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":1005,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/game-theorist-scott-tyson-puzzles-over-what-makes-autocrats-successful-345142\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/10\\\/2018-10-24_Scott_Tyson_066.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"Department of Political Science\",\"School of Arts and Sciences\",\"Social Sciences\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Society &amp;
