Rethinking intractable conflict: the perspective of dynamical systems.
Intractable conflicts are demoralizing. Beyond destabilizing the families, communities, or international regions in which they occur, they tend to perpetuate the very conditions of misery and hate that contributed to them in the first place. Although the common factors and processes associated with intractable conflicts have been identified through research, they represent an embarrassment of r...
متن کاملPower and limits of dynamical systems theory in conflict analysis
One of the most exciting new approaches in conflict research applies Dynamical Systems Theory (DST) to explain the devastating dynamics of intractable conflicts. This paper describes what makes this approach so powerful, and discusses some of its limitations that become visible in the mathematical models of DST that are available so far. In its final section, some possible directions for furthe...
متن کاملDynamical Behavior of a Rigid Body with One Fixed Point (Gyroscope). Basic Concepts and Results. Open Problems: a Review
The study of the dynamic behavior of a rigid body with one fixed point (gyroscope) has a long history. A number of famous mathematicians and mechanical engineers have devoted enormous time and effort to clarify the role of dynamic effects on its movement (behavior) – stable, periodic, quasi-periodic or chaotic. The main objectives of this review are: 1) to outline the characteristic features of...
متن کاملSeeking Sustainable Solutions: Using an Attractor Simulation
We live and work in an increasingly complex and dynamic world. The demands of working in such environments require that negotiators come to understand situations of conflict and work with these situations in correspondingly complex and dynamic ways. This paper presents a new pedagogy based on a newly developed computer simulation, The Attractor Software, that is intended to assist conflict-prac...
متن کاملSynchronization criteria for T-S fuzzy singular complex dynamical networks with Markovian jumping parameters and mixed time-varying delays using pinning control
In this paper, we are discuss about the issue of synchronization for singular complex dynamical networks with Markovian jumping parameters and additive time-varying delays through pinning control by Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy theory.The complex dynamical systems consist of m nodes and the systems switch from one mode to another, a Markovian chain with glorious transition probabili...
