Abstract
I wish to set down ten related propositions on protracted social conflicts. These propositions have been generated by monitoring conflictual and cooperative events in world society over a decade. I will then show how these propositions throw light on conflicts generally and, also, on the theory and practice of conflict resolution.
From E. Azar and J. Burton (eds), International Conflict Resolution: Theory and Practice (Brighton, England: Wheatsheaf; Boulder, CO: Lynne Rienner Publishers, Inc., 1986).
