System dynamic modeling of conflicts within Turkey and between Turkey and her neighbors

Summary form only given. This study proposes a system dynamics model of understanding and managing conflict within and between nations. We have shown that system dynamic modelling can be used effectively to examine the major processes that generate conflict and warfare within and between nations in the case of Turkey and her neighbours. This model was developed with Vensim software that determines the dynamic behavior. The dynamic structure of international and domestic conflict was explored by defining population, technology, resource, military expenditure, trade and bargain leverage, democracy level and income equality level, which are the inflow to lateral and internal pressure, of Turkey and its neighbors
