ABSTRACT
Conflict is a situation of opposition, disagreement or goal incompatibility between people or groups of people characterized, in some cases, by physical violence. Intergroup conflict is a subset of the more general study of intergroup relations, which has its origins in social psychology but has been developed in communication (Ellis, 2010). Although there are many types of conflict such as organizational, interpersonal, emotional, and cognitive this chapter will focus on ethnopolitical conflicts that are ongoing states of hostility and opposition between two or more groups of people.
