"Cylinder of conflict" as an extended model of environmental conflicts in the context of mining activity
Journal Title: Biuletyn Państwowego Instytutu Geologicznego - Year 2018, Vol 472, Issue 472
Abstract
Based on the discussion on the sources and mechanisms of environmental conflicts (especially those related to mining activities), it was pointed out that the structural model of conflict (the so-called ‘circle of conflict’, introduced by Ch. Moore in 1986) can, and even should be, supplemented with additional, new items. As a result, it forms a spatial solid, i.e. ‘cylinder of conflict’. The authors believe that the addition of supplementary elements will form a solid, with emotions and language codes as the ends, which may be both the cause and the result of the conflict. The authors decided to supplement the ‘circle of conflict’ based on the analysis of the literature and their own experiences. The authors paid attention to the change in the dynamics of the system, in which the remaining causes of the conflict ‘mix’ and collide constantly, overlapping and growing, which may lead to escalation and final disruption of relations between stakeholders. Thus, the discussed model itself takes on an even more dynamic character than the ‘circle of conflict’. According to the authors, it is a good metaphor for the issues discussed, and probably also for any other conflicts.<br/><br/>
