From the reviews: "It is worthwhile to emphasize that this book is very clearly and rigorously written. ... chapters is accompanied by an appendix section containing proofs of the main theorems, and by a problem section, allowing this book to be used as a textbook for an advanced graduate course on game theory. ... this book can also be seen as a very valuable position for game theorists."--- (Tadeusz Radzik, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1198, 2010) "In The cooperative game theory of networks and hierarchies, Gilles has written an introduction to cooperative game theory and its applications to hierarchical structures that serves equally well as a graduate level text and a primer for the researcher wanting a concise but highly readable account of recent work in this field. ... the author has provided extensive and thoughtful discussion of the assumptions and applicability of these models to economic and other institutions."
