Conflict dynamic is related to the phasing of conflict, paradigmatic changes, and different phases in the course of violence/warfare:
1. Different periods of a conflict: Violence escalates and de-escalates and is sometimes interrupted by a period of peace.
2. Changes of intensity: The route of violence, strategies, and availability of weapons can be changed.
3. Paradigmatic changes: Objectives may change. New alliances, fall of the regime, and political shifts can happen
4. Cross-cultural and inter-cultural component: Conflict handling can be affected by high-context and low-context cultural environment (Scherrer, 2002: 13).
