Conflict is when two or more people have seemingly incompatible opinions, values or needs. It is an inevitable feature of social relations at all levels, from the interpersonal to the international. The challenge for individuals, groups, and organizations is effectively addressing conflict when it arises rather than trying to eliminate it. Conflict is an opportunity to make positive change. This page provides resources on useful approaches and tools to deal with conflict.
