Conflict triangle
|
|
The conflict triangle or ABC triangle is a model exploring the impact and causes of conflict. The theory was created by Johan Galtung and was published in Journal of Peace Research in 1969. The triangle highlights three aspects of a conflict situation: on top of the triangle is B or Behavior (people's actions, statements, insults and so on), on the sides A for Attitude (it includes feelings, prejudices and beliefs) and C for Contradiction or Context. The last one can be defined by inequality, territorial or economic arguments. The triangle is divided into two parts like an iceberg, the upper one (with B on top) being visible, while the lower part of the triangle (with the sides A and C) hidden. The conflict triangle is used for analysing all types of conflict situations, even with multiple actors. |
