Theoretical and methodological views of definition of conflicts.
Journal Title: Security and Defence Quarterly - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Of all the other terms, conflict is a basic concept that appears most frequently in this article. The term has a Latin origin and is derived from the word of conflictus. It covers a range of meanings, including a fight, collision, clash, dispute, rift, misunderstanding, contradiction, or a tendency to run into each other or collide with each other. In essence, it is an activity, undertaken by individuals or groups, aimed or directed against another individual or group owing to inconsistencies in their needs, differences in their interests, and tendencies of discord in their relationships, whether for political, religious, ethnic, racial or any other reasons. The concept of conflict has accompanied the existence of mankind and society from its inception and has been observable in the entire course of human history.
