Dynamics of conflict and violence

Title

Dynamics of conflict and violence studies how confrontations between organized human groups arise, expand, transform and end. It integrates politics, economics, history, geography, collective psychology and quantitative methods. From physics, conflicts can be analyzed as complex systems composed of agents interacting under tensions, resource flows, behavioral contagions and phase changes between unstable peace, crisis and open war. Tools such as networks, game theory, spatial diffusion, non-linear processes and extreme statistics allow us to understand patterns that at first glance seem chaotic. Physics does not replace human causes, but helps describe emergent regularities, critical thresholds, and probable trajectories of conflict.
