Toward a Theory of Community Conflict: Factors Influencing the Initiation and Scope of Conflict

GARY A. KREPS and DENNIS E. WENGER

Sociological Quarterly 14 (Spring 1973): 158-174





Abstract:

A theory of the structure and process of comi-aunity conflict is developed around concepts used in earlier works in the field.  Then propositions relating to the central elements of community conflict are presented by concentrating on the primary variable: scope.  Propositions constructed with other relevant structural variables are introduced.  To begin with, procedures used in developing the propositions are discumd; and, then, suggestions for measuring them are given.  Finally, implications of the theory in analyses of change are discussed
