Abstract
This article aims to provide an analytical discussion for inter-group conflicts in the context of the social identity phenomenon, a rather neglected dimension of social conflict. The study reveals that social identity is related to inter-group conflicts by leading to stereotyping, ethnocentric behaviors, and inter-group competitions, offering, thus, a useful framework in capturing many social-psychological aspects of these conflicts. It is noted, however, that social identity, by itself, is not a direct cause of overt inter-group conflicts. The need for further research into conditions that may tie the dynamics of social identity to expressed inter-group conflicts in a clearer way is urged.
