The Eastern Approach to Conflict Resolution as Portrayed in The Art of War

John F. Kennedy once said, "Before the end of the war, mankind must end the war." It was said decades ago, but the theme of war is always related. Some people share the views of Kennedy, others do not. The most obvious examples of different perspectives and ways of dealing with conflict are the West and East civilization. Westerners focus on physical attacks, accomplish things by power and compulsion, but the eastern approach is more philosophical, rational and strategic.

This problem caused investigation of mobile conflict, a strategic approach based on the ancient eastern conflict formation and resolution principle. Essentially, the maneuvering conflict uses friction, uncertainties, liquidity, and disorder to contain opponent's strengths and attempts to suppress the ability of the enemy to adapt to the changing environment. Electric thinking aims to eliminate as far as possible the mental and moral cohesion of opponents in order to avoid long-term struggle. Our team also noted that by explicitly avoiding conflict-based strategies, well-meaning participants are facing the threat from their opponents and they do not hesitate to use these tools . Unless you have a clear understanding of this strategy, there is no hope of finding an effective way to deal with it.

This course focuses on existing approaches to conflict resolution and conflict management. After a preliminary overview of technical terms, an important approach to conflict resolution is outlined and discussed. The following is an overview of the types and stages of conflict and major political concepts in this field, peacekeeping, peacebuilding, peacebuilding, and humanitarian intervention. The most important examples of applying these concepts were discussed and critically appraised. By completing this course, students should be able to connect related concepts with empirical evidence in that they analyze the most pressing humanitarian topics in the world's politics.
