Reflection and Commentary: Conflict Resolution Contexts and Implications

Abstract

The variety of the subjects examined in the preceding chapters reflects the vastness of the contemporary conflict resolution field. To discuss contexts that encompass them requires relying on basic conflict processes. I have chosen such processes related to three fundamental matters: (1) that conflicts are interlocked with each other, (2) that various kinds of inducements are used in conflicts, and (3) that how conflicts are waged and settled is related to conflict outcomes.
