ABSTRACT
The Cold War experience seems to have demonstrated that a peace negotiation and a decent coexistence, or at least a non-aggression pact, may be held more easily when there is an equality of offensive weapons and their use can be limited as a deterrent. Albert Einstein's view of a possibility to avoid war by creating a strong central authority, to which resolution of international conflicts could be delegated, is discarded by S. Freud as a generous but unrealistic dream. Psychoanalysis made the conflict a cornerstone of its theoretic system and the core target of its therapeutic method for the care of psychic disorders. Conflict is a basic feature in all relationships and knowledge processes. The lack of a conflict management system leaves substantially unresolved apparent and hidden conflicts, which are to be evacuated and exported whether horizontally to other groups or vertically upwards or more frequently downwards, thus leading to frontline endemic micro-conflicts.
