In popular perception cultural differences or ethnic affiliation
are factors that cause conflict or political fragmentation although
this is not borne out by historical evidence. This book puts
forward an alternative conflict theory. The author develops a
decision theory which explains the conditions under which differing
types of identification are preferred. Group identification is
linked to competition for resources like water, territory, oil,
political charges, or other advantages. Rivalry for resources can
cause conflicts but it does not explain who takes whose side in a
conflict situation. This book explores possibilities of reducing
violent conflicts and ends with a case study, based on personal
experience of the author, of conflict resolution.
