Increase of international conflicts against muslims
Description:
International conflict behaviour is caused by: opposing interests and capabilities (or specific sociocultural differences and similarities between parties), contact and salience (awareness), significant change in the balance of powers, individual perceptions and expectations, a disrupted structure of expectations and a will to conflict (www.hawaii.du/pwerkills). REcent international conflicts between Western and Muslim societies appear to result from a combination of these factors, most specifically from opposing interests and potential changes in the balance of powers - going forward, these drivers appear to remain largely intact which should thus likely result in a continuation or even increase in international conflicts of Western countreis against muslim nations.
Enablers:
- cognitive imbalance
- status difference
- coercive state pwer
- sociocultural differences
Inhibitors:
- sociocultural similarity
- decentralized or weak, coercive state power
Paradigms:
The main awareness should be that a continuation of international conflicts against muslim countries will further fuel muslim fundamentalism and terrorism since veteran fighters, highly skilled in guerilla wars and organizing attacks, will return towards Western countries while the general feeling of hate towards Western coutnreies ´waging ware against Muslims´ will increase.
