Abstract: the experience of various conflict situations showed that practitioners in conflict resolution are forced, first of all, to confront the problem of social change, if they hope to succeed in preventing or resolving violent conflicts, and also to stop their recurrence. Vivid examples of violent conflict in the Middle East, Africa, America, Eurasia and Asia have become part of everyday life. In this brief reflection on the conceptual study of the “conflict-social change” dichotomy, it seems appropriate to focus on the most clearly articulated concepts in the study of this issue to shed light on the relationship between social change and violent conflict, as well as to explore more effective approaches to making peace. At the same time, some modern studies state that profound social changes will occur only by putting pressure on those who are unwilling or unable to meet the needs and aspirations of vulnerable groups.
Social change, therefore, includes processes and policies that lead to changes or restructuring of social structures and institutions, so that they better respond to the needs and aspirations of those segments of society who seek to transform them.
