The Historical Social Conflict Database (HiSCoD) is an ongoing project designed to provide to scholars and society at large with a set of resources for analyzing social conflict from the Middle Ages to the second half of the nineteenth century (c. 1000–c. 1870). Based on original archival research and existing repositories, the aim is to provide a global database of social conflict in past societies by collecting, aggregating, documenting, and harmonizing instances of conflict. As of today, the database contains data on more than twenty thousand events, from fiscal scuffles to urban revolts involving thousands of individuals. For every event, we provide information on the date, location, type of conflict, and, when possible, number of participants, participation of women, and a summary of events.

Based on the background of American civil rights movement in which religious factors participated, this study analyzes the function of religious factors in civil rights movement from the perspective of political participation and the principle of separation of politics and religion, in order to consider the research paradigm of the relationship between religion and social conflict. It is believed that religious participation is helpful to exert the positive force of social conflict, the right of religious freedom has, to a certain extent, become the "safety valve" of social stability, and the development of religion is the embodiment of social pluralism and symbiosis.

The extraction of minerals, oil and gas has a long and ambiguous history in development processes - in North America, Europe, Latin America and Australasia. Extraction has yielded wealth, regional identities and in some cases capital for industrialization. In other cases its main heritages have been social conflict, environmental damage and underperforming national economies. As the extractive economy has entered another boom period over the last decade, not least in Latin America, the countries in which this boom is occurring are challenged to interpret this ambiguity. Will the extractive ind

We consider the different types of rent-seeking practices in emerging oil economies, and discuss how they contribute to social conflict and a local resource curse in the Albertine Graben region of Uganda. The rent-seeking activities have contributed to speculative behavior, competition for limited social services, land grabbing, land scarcity, land fragmentation, food insecurity, corruption, and ethnic polarization. Local people have interpreted the experience of the consequent social impacts as a local resource curse. The impacts have led to social conflicts among the affected communities. Our research used a range of methods, including 40 in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, participant observation, and document analysis. We argue there is an urgent need by all stakeholders&mdash ; including local and central governments, oil companies, local communities, and civil society organizations&mdash ; to address the challenges before the construction of oil infrastructure. Stakeholders must work hard to create the conditions that are needed to avoid the resource curse ; otherwise, Uganda could end up suffering from the Dutch Disease and Nigerian Disease, as has befallen other African countries.

This study aimed at analyzing the dynamics of confrontation between popular mobilization and state in Jordan from the sociological perspective of an analytical social conflict. It also concentrated on the factors that led to the emergence of popular mobilization and its Legitimacy and the variables that guided the peaceful confrontation between mobilization and state. The study results showed that economic deprivation was the main factor behid the emergence of the popular mobilization, and the political demands were emerged when the state didn't achieve the economical Reforms , and the mobilization derives its legitimacy From its objective economical demands, the Arab revolutions and the concessions of the state which mean recognition of the Mobilization and its demands. Then the results showed that the mobilization was Fall back because of its lack of organization leadership and Ideology and the cleavages in the structure of national identity , but the conscious of the mobilization and its legitimacy may intense it again. Besides, The results indicated that the confrontation was included dialectical Relationship between the peaceful oriention of the state toward the mobilizations and the peaceful orientation of the mobilization from the other hand. This dialectical relationship constituted moral treaty between the two partisans stand out as safty valve against violence and polarization. After that, the study showed some Factors which, sometimes , provoked violence such as : the partisans, usage of violent power, and arrestation of mobilization's activists . Then, the study showed that the confrontation was realistic , but didn't occur substantial change in the social structure, However, it escalated the level of freedom, Raised the power of the street, and obtained the state and the society more flexibility and democracy. With regard to the theoretical approach, This study showed that the perspectives of analytical conflict are of complementarily nature, and it could be syenthesized to produce a new theoretical perspective.

The present study used data from the 1991 and 1992 Drug Use Forecasting projects and the 1990 census data to test the hypothesis that certain "structural disadvantage factors" identified by social conflict theory (Goode, 1997, 1999) contribute to explaining arrestees' use of cocaine and/or opiates. Using hierarchical nonlinear modeling techniques, this study explored whether social-control factors and demographic factors were effective predictors of arrestees' drug use. It also questioned whether the effects of such factors on drug use varied with the degree of structural disadvantage of the arrestees' residential districts. Overall, the study resulted in support for a link between a group of hard-drug users and contextual factors of structural disadvantage.

Law, as a social phenomenon reflects and includes in it's content (identifies) the peculiarities of social phenomena, it's content and emerging problems. Hence, system judicial problematic issues should not be left only for their analysis only to sociologists and politicians, as if law could function isolated from the conditions of social peculiarities. It is the aim of this article to show the link among problematic issues in law (the increasing number of law suits, mistrust of courts) and social peculiarities (certain developed judicial social traditions, the adaptivity of social circles aiming to retain and occupy certain positions). The object of the research of this article is the relation between social conflict and judicial practice in Lithuania, i.e. how one factor may be the reason and the consequence of the other. Both, judicial and social conflicts in the article are used in their broadest sense (conflict as a relation among state institutions, the relation of mistrust, judicial practice as a law making, court practice etc.).The peak of quarrel (conflict) both in a social and judicial sense apparently is reached when subjects apply to the court. Modern law, which is characterized by the amount of procedural forms, reflects this "critical" moment of the quarrel and further development of it in the shape of the magnitude of judicial norms. In fact, the advancement of the state is often judged by the development and quantity of procedural forms. In this sense nobody could call Lithuanian law and judicial system as retarded. All in all there are 63 courts in Lithuania. This figure reaches 63, (Constitutional court of Lithuania including) for the population of 2 943 472 inhabitants. The number of population decreased by 12,6 percent (440,6 thousands) during the decade (from 2001 years till the beginning of the year 2012). But the court system did not diminish. The law suits increased. Courts increasingly complain of ever increasing number of law suits and the amount of work. So, the situation is that a person commands a variety of means to defend his rights in a sense of procedural/institutional forms. On the other hand, it's the situation when nobody is satisfied, and it seems there is no end in making the system of dispute resolution more perfect, and the entire dissatisfaction with the system (including the criticism of courts) is increasingly addressed to courts or prietrial institutions. From the sociological point of view the before mentioned situation may be compared to the fashion of conflicts which precludes animosity to any social group, phenomenon, situation. In a sense it has become a tradition. Thus the improvement of procedural forms in law, organizational judicial means, do not solve the problem. On the other hand, in as social sense a certain animosity among positions as maintenance of traditions or balance may become in a certain sense useful for the justification of the existence of any side in the conflict: one side criticizes the other works, undergoes the criticism of society, which encourages another criticism. When analyzing the above mentioned situation of position convenience, interesting situation emerges regarding real judicial and court practice. It's not likely judging from these quarters that the number of law suits is diminishing. On the contrary, what concerns peace treaties in courts, mediation and other court practice signifies something else. Thus, it seems that the situation has developed when one part can comfortably criticize and the other can adjustingly react to criticism, thus making a "balance" and "tradition" jointly maintaining permanent traits, necessary for adjustment. Such social beliefs and traditions hardly change, although whole generations pay for it with the quality of life. The forecast could be that the situation will change naturally, i.e. the rate of it's increase may be such, that it becomes unbearable even to those, to whom it is comfortable at present. There are such signs. They can be observed in the implementation of organizational means, in the change of court laws with the aim of reducing the number of law suits, in making the process more quick and simple. External factors may change the situation, e.g. the control of institutions by the European Union. Certain personalities may change it on condition that they are independent from state institutions occupying adjustive "positions". The input of law scientists in this sense could be a fine example of cooperation of state and society. ; Straipsnyje analizuojama socialinio konflikto plačiuoju požiūriu – valstybės valdžios institucijų tarpusavio santykio, visuomenės santykio (nepasitikėjimo) teismu, konflikto "populiarumo", t. y. bylų gausos teismuose, tema.
