Abstract

The authors address central foundations and dominant comparative-historical patterns of class conflict in Western societies. Class conflict refers to a broad set of social actions that are manifested in direct and indirect, violent and nonviolent, noninstitutionalized and institutionalized struggles between social classes. Taking a comparative approach and using a variety of measures, this essay elaborates the conceptual roots of class conflict; denotes the varied forms, venues and intensity of conflict between classes across time (historical trends) and space (global dimensions); and examines the impact of class conflict on future patterns of social, political, and economic relations.
