Social Conflicts and Integration of the Society Under Transformation
Abstract
The article gives insight into one of the most dynamic segments of social life – how social conflict is interconnected with the integration of the society. The processes have been observed in Lithuania during the post-socialist transition and many-sided transformations. The main questions we are going to discuss are – how did the approach to conflict in the society change during the process of radical transformation, and how management adopted new strategies in dealing with conflicts. The article consists of a theoretical overview and case study. Three links have been marked in the chain of approaching and dealing with conflicts along post-socialist transition. The terms that have been adopted are manifestation of conflict, conflict institutionalisation, and conflict management [1]. This outlines the different stages of dealing with conflicts in a transitional society and indicates what actions were effective in preserving social integrity and maintaining dialogue.
