A factual account provides no clear pattern concerning conflict resolution & instigation through sport. Both positions prevail in the social-psychological literature on sport & aggression, while anthropological testing of preliterate societies shows combative sport to be related to warlikeness. Model & conceptual implications are discussed. A stronger concern for sociological analysis will provide a better understanding of the sport contest in its dialectical structure & its sociocultural as well as organizational context. Simple notions of causality & insights from ethology & psychology are insufficient for the analysis of a predominately structural problem of conflict in the sport contest. 1 Table, 2 Photographs, 1 Illustration.

IN EXAMINING CONSTRUCTIVE RESPONSES TO THE PROBLEMS CAUSED BY VIOLENT ETHNIC CONFLICT A DISTINCTION IS OFTEN MADE BETWEEN THE 'MANAGEMENT' AND 'RESOLUTION' APPROACHES. INDEED, THEY ARE OFTEN DEFINED SO AS TO MAKE THEM INCOMPATIBLE WITH EACH OTHER. THE BASIC ASSUMPTIONS UPON WHICH THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE TWO APPROACHES ARE BASED ARE ANALYSED, AND THE WEAKNESSES OF EACH ARE EXPLORED. FINALLY, THE ASSUMPTION OF BASIC INCOMPATIBILITY IS QUESTIONED, BECAUSE IT IS GENERALLY UNHELPFUL IN PROMOTING CONFLICT RESOLUTION; AND AN ATTEMPT IS MADE TO SHOW HOW THE TWO APPROACHES CAN BE COMBINED BY INTRODUCING THE CONCEPT OF PEACE-KEEPING (MANAGEMENT) AND PEACE-MAKING AND PEACE-BUILDING (RESOLUTION).
