Principles and Processes of Conflictology

Abstract

The theme of this theoretical paper is aimed at reinforcing attempts being made to establish CONFLICTOLOGY as an independent field of study or discipline. The theme covers the concepts, scope, characteristics, principles and processes of conflictology as well as the processes, stages and strategies of conflict resolution. The need for evolving specific theories and research methodology of conflictology and expanding the scope of the discipline is suggested.
