SPECIFICITIES OF CONFLICT AND CRISIS RESEARCH IN THE CONTEXT OF POLITICAL CONFLICTS AND ITS IMPLICATIONS
Abstract
While respecting the variety of inter-group conflicts, most of them have a tendency to be related to political power, i.e. state power. That is because political subjects try to gain the biggest share of power possible, i.e. gain the possibility to influence its distribution, achieve certain goals and advance certain interests against the will of others. These efforts are common for individuals, groups within states, or among states. Clash of interests and opposition of goals occur and led to a political conflict. Legitimacy and legality of political power is an important conflict-causing factor. If the holder of political power has not gained his position in a democratic way, does not have the support of the majority of citizens and does not use political power according to the laws of a given state, then his goals contradict the will and interests of the citizens and a political conflict arises.
