The life cycle of a conflict refers to the different stages through which a conflict develops, escalates, and ultimately resolves or transforms. Understanding this life cycle is crucial in the field of peace and conflict management because it provides insights into how conflicts emerge, intensify, and can be effectively addressed to prevent violence and promote constructive outcomes. Conflicts are dynamic, and their life cycle is influenced by various social, political, economic, and psychological factors. By analyzing the life cycle, mediators, negotiators, and peacebuilders can design interventions tailored to the stage and nature of the conflict.

Underlying issues such as resource competition, social inequalities, cultural misunderstandings, or political grievances may simmer beneath the surface. People may feel dissatisfaction or frustration, but the conflict has not become visible or confrontational. Recognizing conflicts at this stage is critical because early interventions can prevent escalation. Strategies in this stage focus on awareness, dialogue, and addressing potential sources of tension before they manifest into open conflict. The second stage is the perceived conflict stage, where the parties involved become aware that a conflict exists. At this point, the underlying issues are recognized, and the parties perceive that their goals, needs, or values are incompatible.
