Bargaining theory assumes that there is always a bargaining range that states can negotiate rather than going into war. That range is around the expected outcome of the war and plus costs of war for two states. Since war is costly then states can negotiate at a point within bargaining range.

What do you mean by game theory of international relations?

Game theory can be used to explain the behavior of states in the international system, especially under realist philosophies. By assuming that all actors in the system are rational and that the system is anarchic, game theory can be used to model a scenario and to determine the most probable outcome One common application of game theory to IR, for example, is the application of the prisoner's dilemma problem to model the behavior of two states acting in their own self intrests.


Why are they actors in international relations?

Most classical IR theory (i.e., realism, liberalism and world systems theory) considers that the actors (main participants/decision makers) in the international sphere are the states. That means that decisions are considered as being aggregated at state level and that the international system is the creation of the states. Constructivists and structuralists (as well as a few neorealists and neoliberals) add other actors, such as non-national entities (multi-national corporations, large NGOs), subnational entities (such as structures of government competing for ideological dominance, federal regions, lobby and pressure groups and even individuals in power) and transnational entities (such as international organizations in themselves as opposed to being just expression arenas for states) as well as ideatic structures (such as securitization complexes, social constructs, social norms and laws, ideologies etc.). In these schools, defining what an actor is is left to the author, so it is best to read carefully so that you can understand what the actor considers.
