Conflicts of Ideological Doctrines

The first type of conflicts can be referred as conflicts of Ideological Doctrines. Usually they have a deep historical roots. The demands of confronted sides are formulated through the slogans and programs of national movements. It differs from an ordinary rebellion as long as it’s political demands bear a strong nationalistic colouring; they are being elaborated by theoreticians and ideologists of a particualr national movement. Worsening of a social-economic situation can contribute to the spread of abovementioned doctrines and determine the extent of their violence’s manifestation. The leaders of such “ideals” are ready to sacrifice not only an economic prosperity and personal comfort, but also their life; they are ready to die for it.[1]
