Social determinants of conflict management – theoretical analysis

Abstract

Conflict management is a situation of contradictory interests, where one party wants to subordinate the opposite side. People are social beings because they create diverse human relations and are lost by the idea of being safe and the belief it will always be this way. War is a socio-political phenomenon that involves a decision about fight. Lack of water supply, selective pandemics, environmental and climate disasters are the result of poverty and government’s faulty security management. Lack of security creates a constant necessity for conducting research on the development of science that deals with conflict management. In contemporary society, conflict management means to keep control over it by its policy makers, which, as a result, guarantees the effective solution. “Recognition, strategy and attack” (i.e. effective actions that can ensure security) is the motto of politicians and the military. It should be kept in mind that conflict management is connected with the implementation of the intended goals, where, for example, war is a social phenomenon and a political tool. Excessive exploitation of the arms industry may be called by some a strategy for peace. The idolatry of politicians, including advanced technology, causes individuals to trust in material things. Pope Francis warns that one should not blindly follow the image advisers who sell death.
