The Strategies,Behaviors,and Resolution of Conflicts—A Review of Conflict Economics
Understanding the causes and underline mechanisms of conflict is vital for China's path to modernization with peaceful development.This paper scientifically reviews the influencing literature in conflict economics,including game theory of conflict,causes and consequences of conflict,behaviors in conflicts,as well as prevention and resolution measures.A large body of research indicates that though conflict reflects a negative-sum game in nature,it can be triggered and exacerbated by various economic,political,racial,cultural,or religious factors,leading to tragic consequences.Contact,communication,and establishing shared values are important directions for resolving conflicts.Current studies in conflict economics need to further understand the mechanisms and influencing factors that lead to con-flict and cooperation between groups,as well as to explore solutions to resolve con-flict and promote cooperation.
