Conflict studies is a multidisciplinary field that explores the causes, dynamics, and resolution of conflicts at various levels, including interpersonal, organizational, communal, national, and international levels. Researchers in this field analyze the underlying factors that lead to conflicts, such as power imbalances, competing interests, cultural differences, and historical grievances. They also study the impact of conflicts on individuals, communities, and societies, as well as the strategies and processes for managing and resolving conflicts peacefully. Conflict studies often draw from fields such as psychology, sociology, political science, anthropology, and international relations to provide a comprehensive understanding of conflict dynamics and to develop effective conflict resolution strategies.
