Abstract

Conflicts exist not only in political arenas. They take place within the family, between countries, ethnic and religious groups, etc. There are also resource conflicts such as in energy and water resources. Resource conflicts also lead to political conflicts. Conflict itself is not bad in all circumstances. In many situations it is necessary to have conflict for development and growth. What is needed is cooperation between parties to reach a solution by nonviolent peaceful means.
