The life cycle of a conflict refers to the stages through which a conflict progresses, from its initial emergence to its resolution or transformation. Understanding the conflict life cycle is crucial in peace and conflict management, as it provides insights into how conflicts escalate and de-escalate, and how interventions can be tailored to address issues at each stage. Conflict is not a static entity; rather, it is dynamic and evolves over time, often with different actors, issues, and interests involved. The life cycle of a conflict typically consists of several stages: latent conflict, emergence, escalation, stalemate, de-escalation, resolution, and post-conflict.

1. Latent Conflict:

The latent conflict stage is characterized by underlying tensions that have not yet surfaced into open conflict. At this point, differences in interests, values, or resources exist, but they are not openly expressed or recognized by the parties involved. This stage is often marked by a lack of communication or miscommunication, which may create an environment of mistrust or misunderstandings. Although the conflict is not yet visible, the potential for it to emerge exists. Societal or institutional factors, such as inequality, marginalization, or historical grievances, may contribute to the buildup of latent conflict. 

In this phase, conflict management strategies are often proactive, focusing on addressing the root causes and fostering dialogue to prevent the conflict from escalating. Early intervention is crucial in managing latent conflict, as it can prevent the situation from advancing to the next stage.

2. Emergence:

The emergence stage marks the point where the latent conflict becomes visible, and the involved parties start to recognize and express their differences. Issues that were previously ignored or suppressed begin to surface, and the conflict starts to gain attention from both the parties involved ____ ____________ ___ ___________ ________ __________.
