CONFLICTUL - ATRIBUT INERENT AL VIEȚII SOCIALE. DELIMITĂRI CONCEPTUALE

Abstract

The history from ancient times to the present has demonstrated the inhe r- ent conflict in inter - human relations. Conflicts are a result of the interaction and commun ication of individuals, so they persist as long as man is. At present, conflicts are greatly influenced both by the nature of the people and by the sp e- cific nature of the work of social - political organizations and institutions. The i s- sue of conflicting con flicts and situations has become a key issue for many ph i- losophers, psychologists, sociologists, political scientists, etc. But regardless of the high interest and long history there is no unanimously accepted understanding of the essence and nature of the conflict. The political sphere is a specific area that has a permanent and obviously conflictual character compared to other spheres of social life. Its origin is in the very nature of political relations, as relations of power, which presuppose the leadership of some and the subordination of others. That is, the power relations are based on the dominance of some people and their interests over others, which gives birth to clashes and confrontations. Political conflicts are a cons euence of confrontations in a complex and multi-level system of leadership and subordination. This article will determine the conceptual, functional and structural dimention of conflicts, in particular will analize the multitude of theories that explane the expression of the conflicts in social and political life, construc tive and negative approaches on functions of conflicts, dynamical dimension and paerticularites of political conflict management.
