Conflict escalation will be approached from a perspective of Dynamical Systems Theory. It is proposed that escalation and de-escalation of conflict result in changes of the ensemble of possible behaviors. We employ a combination of multidimensional scaling and network analysis to understand the...

A mathematical model for conflict can give us insight into which mechanisms are the most important in maintaining or resolving a conflict. We developed a nonlinear model of the interactions in time between two groups based on the intuitive and experimental insights of Deustch (1973, 2006) and...
