The underlying theme in this paper is conflict, the multiple institutional effects and sources, that conflicts have, and the processes, which (both initially and in turn) shape how conflicts manifest themselves. In other words, conflicts (whether political, economic and social) shape institutions (formal and informal) and at the same time institutions determine how conflicts manifest themselves. These different aspects of conflict, the processes that leads to it, and the processes it generates, point to the need for employing and exploring a number of different disciplines within social science.
