Abstract
The socio-political conflict and the division into "ego and the other" are among the most important problems that the human mind has been busy understanding and determining their nature, in an effort to find an explanation for the causes of human conflicts, to search for solutions to divisions and separatism, or chronic conflicts in societies, and to find ways to manage these conflicts and promote coexistence and harmony. The study of conflict is related to understanding the nature of the relationship - or describing and analyzing it - between people who differ in their colors, origins, religions, opinions, ideas and even interests, and are divided as a result of this difference into two or more wills that are struggling to impose cultural meaning or domination, control and influence. In the preoccupation of the human mind with understanding and interpreting this duality, a number of thinkers have argued that man, just as he is forced to coexist with his brother man and form a meeting, he is also forced to be aggressive and selfish and to search for the other enemy in whom he finds himself, gives him his identity, and draws his way of living. This study examines their interpretation of the conflict in an attempt to understand the nature of the conflict and the reasons for its emergence in contemporary societies, and seeks to answer two basic questions: How did " Alain Touraine " and" Ralf Dahrendorf " explain the emergence of socio-political conflict.
