Abstract

This study aims to analyze conflict issues in social sciences. The urgency is to provide new insights into conflict dynamics and to recommend further research and interventions in social contexts. This research uses qualitative bibliometric analysis, collecting data from internationally accredited articles in the Scopus database, exporting them in RIS format, and analyzing them with VOSviewer software. These findings provide in-depth insight into the relationship and impact of various themes and risk factors on conflict in the social sciences, identifying how themes such as risk, climate, vulnerability, and sustainability are interrelated. Clusters that identify operational pressures and demands help researchers focus on highly relevant areas and understand how external factors influence conflict dynamics. This analysis emphasizes the importance of understanding the interaction between economic, social, political, and environmental risks and conflict and mapping its likelihood and impact to identify the causes of conflict and broader social implications. These findings highlight the need for an in-depth exploration of market uncertainty and resource access to develop more sustainable and equitable solutions at the local and global levels.
