Uniate /vs./ Orthodox: What Lays behind the Conflict? A conflict analysis

Abstract

The current paper investigates the Romanian Uniate/Orthodox conflict from the perspective of peace and conflict studies, making use of an interpretation of Johan Galtung’s conflict theory and his proposed analysis tools. The aims are to contribute to a more comprehensive and multilateral understanding of this conflict in a wider context than the ideological one and hopefully to suggest some of the means of attenuating the conflict.
