* Ideology Ideology is a system of concepts regarding how things ought to be organised. Teams of individuals could have competitive thoughts and ideations, this will cause conflict. An example of this can be the cold war, in which the USA and also the Soviet Union had competitive political and economic ideologies after the world war ll. * Politics This issue is split into two areas, International Politics and Internal Politics. International politics is engulfed with potential sources of war and conflict, like border disputes and disputes over territory, as shown within the current conflicts in India, Pakistan
Everybody has different values. So with that in mind, conflict will occur when individuals or nations have a lack of acceptance and understanding of these different values. Conflicts with differing interests occur when individuals or nations combat for their personal or nation goals as a whole, often ignoring the organizational goals and well-being, or other nation’s goals and well-being. Scarce resources can cause a lot of conflict. Especially between two countries.
Frank Gagliano/IGEN-231/Paper 2 Poverty’s Influence on Ethnic Conflict October 19th, 2008 Throughout history ethnic conflict has always had adverse effects for a nation or nations. Ethnic conflict has direct implications for a country’s well-being, and plays a significant role in the poverty rate. There are many different aspects on why poverty exists, but if there is in-fighting and cultures are in conflict, it prevents further development until that conflict is resolved. Depending on how long that conflict lasts, it could lead to years of devastation and hardship for countries struggling to pull out of the poverty threshold. Ethnic conflict has lasting effects for a country’s economy.
This lack of similarities had made agreements very difficult to come to between these two nations, which raised tensions between them. The Soviet Union and United States had poor relations due to a constant power struggle. Both nations had come out of World War II being superpowers - superior to other nations in their technology, economy, as well as military forces. The clashing idealogys between the two nations led to the Cold War, a war being fought more so on the political aspect by using tactics to lure the independent nations lacking a government to choose their form of government. Author PJ Larkin can be quoted saying that this war "was a mixture of religious crusade in favour of one idealogy or the other... striking out for advantage or expansion not only in Europe but all over the world."
There are a number of different causes of war and conflict, the main ones are; - Politics; Different political parties have different thoughts and opinions on things. Sometimes this opinions clash with each other and it causes conflict. Border disputes and disputes over territory can all cause war as people want to fight for their land. An example of conflict that started because of this is the conflict between India and Pakistan over Kashmir. NATO can also cause countries to go into war because if one of the NATO countries gets invaded, it is seen as though all of the countries are involved; this is what started the Second World War.
The debates in America during the late 1700s and early 1800s revealed bitter controversies on a number of issues, especially the Alien and Sedition Acts. To start with, the different viewpoints over foreign relations in America became a controversy when it was believed that the wrong decision could lead to a loss of independence. Also during the early years of America, many people had different views about governmental issues, which lead to the formation of factions, which made many people believe that the nation was coming close to a civil war. Another controversy was caused by differences between the federalist and anti-federalist and the hungers for power; the power craving factions presented the problem that one faction might take over and rule the newly found nation. During the late 1700s and early 1800s, the different viewpoints over foreign relations in America became a controversy when it was believed that the wrong decision could lead to a loss of independence.
This problem had a big contribution to the split as they couldn’t agree on anything, and if they did, it was because their national interests were at risk. These policies show how the two countries also had different beliefs in which direction the country should go. Mao was more for self-sufficiency, which can be seen in his policies like the Hundred Flowers Campaign, the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. Whereas in the USSR a social
However, this big number later posed as a risk to the natural resources and thus there was pressure on the distribution of the resources which is the case even today. Internal tension was created due to land grabbing by the indigenous groups that arrived later. During the wars of independence, Latin America received very minimal material support from any countries. The outcome of the war was dependent on the place of action as some places were mostly affected than others. There has always been a debate about what wars of independence signified and what where the outcomes or impacts.
The subsequent failures of the post colonial government of Arab Elites to re-address and balance the issues of economic disparity, land disputes, political and economic marginalization and inequality; have served as the main cause of conflict between the Sudanese Government and those groups in both Darfur and Southern Sudan who strive to achieve equality. Further cause arises in the Sudanese Governments development of fundamental religious and racial policies, towards what it sees as an inferior African race and their failure to provide them security. The combination of these created a volatile situation that was worsened by international actors and their geopolitical agendas within Africa and Sudan therefore; culpability for the humanitarian crisis that ensued must also be placed at the doors of the international community, which is intensified by the slow and inadequate reaction in accepting the genocide narrative and offering protection. The phrase once bitten twice shy arose from the ashes of the Holocaust and mechanisms were put in position to prevent such an atrocity occurring again, yet international actors have allowed similar atrocities to occur thrice over. It is now time for the United Nations to disassociate humanitarian issues from its member’s geopolitical agendas, which will be the only viable way of preventing atrocities like
There were several consequences that developed due to the rise of religious fundamentalism that proved to be detrimental on both the regional and global scale. On the regional scale, the rise of religious fundamentalists that were known for their violent nature created political instability and the rise of authoritarian regimes in response as extremists threatened the secular foundations of independent states. Making matters worse, the extremist stance and violent methods that the religious fundamentalists adopted translated into the constant disruptions of peace processes which led to the protraction of regional conflicts. While not all religious fundamentalists had a global outreach, those groups that did have the international network played a critical role in the rise of global terrorism and the undermining of international law due to their illegal and brutal actions. Evidently, the impacts of the rise of religious fundamentalism was undeniably significant and detrimental on both a regional and global level.
