Preferred term

social conflict  

Definition

  • In a globalizing world, the questions of peace, security, and development become increasingly dependent on people's social trust. While political conflicts mainly concern the possession of government power or control over a certain territory, social conflicts are ultimately about questioning the legitimacy of the social order. [Source: Encyclopedia of Law & Society: American and Global Perspectives; Social Conflict]
