Abstract

The relevance and significance of the theoretical study of the concept of "complex-composite conflict" (hereinafter referred to as CCC) was formed in the process of studying the ambiguous and multidirectional processes of Russian transformation. It has become obvious that diverse conflicts in a highly dynamic transformation stimulate and mutually reinforce each other. Because of this, today it is not enough to study individual and several social conflicts, ignoring the fact of the emergence of a qualitatively new phenomenon – the space of the SSC, which is formed by the intersection of fields of different types of mono–conflicts - political, economic, socio-cultural, etc., forming a pulsating and mobile structure of conflict interaction. It seems that an attempt to comprehensively consider the various conflicts of the transit Russian society is very productive, since various conflicts, overlapping each other, stimulate, provoke and strengthen each other, which gives rise to a new integrative effect of conflict manifestation, which has some other quality than mono-conflicts themselves. This chapter provides a systematic presentation of the concept of ССC, including a definition of the concept, types of SSC, a description of the dynamics of SSC and a statement of a number of principles for effective analysis of ССC.
