This model adopted a bottom-up reversal approach with minimal military assaults to solving international security challenges including wars, conflicts, crimes and terrorism – the subsequent pages of this material present an introduction to The Model for International Conflicts Reversal and Prevention (MICRAP).

Interestingly, most international efforts to eradicate global conflicts, wars and terrorism have been ridiculously unsuccessful. This is predominantly due to the methods adopted and intrinsic objectives of various international organizations and mediators involved in these global peacekeeping adventures. What is International Conflict? International conflict is defined as any disagreements and negative psychosociological interactions leading to physical escalations (incurring loss of lives and destruction of properties) between two or more countries, regions and territories or that involved participation of at least one external (i.e. not directly affected by the objects of contention or consequences of the conflict) country in physical escalations within a country, region or territory. Previous Efforts It was observed that for the past ten (10) years, there is drastic reduction in the rate and severity of new (international) conflicts. This is attributed to the concept of conflict-inertia! Conflict inertia is a state during a war or conflict lifecycle where all engaging parties become exhausted or the masterminds of conflicts have exhausted their strategies hence there is temporary conflict-drain and potential subconscious loss of energy for the continuation of the conflict or war. All scientific methodologies adopted by international development experts and organizations for decades to alleviate international conflicts and ensure peace have proved abortive because they have been majorly targeted at reducing the consequences or effects of war and conflicts. The Trio-Dimension to International Conflict There is only three (trio) dimensions to every international conflict, these are: 1. Origin/Cause/Evolution. This is the how and why the conflict started. Evolution of international conflicts could be sub-classified into three, namely; Copyright © 2017 || Adefioye Sunday Adewumi || All Rights Reserved MODEL FOR INTERNATIONAL CONFLICTS REVERSAL AND PREVENTION (MICRAP) || SDX Publishing a. Diplomatic – international (socio-political interference) and local (sociocultural and religious interactions cum escalations) b. Terrorism – initiated by extreme conflict oriented groups. c. Geo-political – based on disagreements and psychosociological interactions on territorial physical properties e.g. land areas, water surface or airspace. 2. Contributors. Contributors are factors that intensified the level of the conflict, that promote the conflict or war, and that aims to ensure the continuation of the conflict. 3. Effects. The effects are the attending consequences of the war or conflict. Effects of conflict can either be the actual effects, potential effects and the projected effects based on the temporal (time-based) characteristics of the effects or consequences. Also effects of an international conflict can be inanimate and animate based on the objects or entities that suffer the consequences of the conflict. Animate effects of wars and conflicts include those that affect human existence while inanimate composed those that pertain to loss of properties and alterations of earth’s physical properties. The Model for International Conflict Reversal and Prevention (MICRAP) The theoretical background for the Model for International Conflicts Reversal and Prevention (International Conflict Reversal Model) states that all conflicts (local or international) have a unique and similar pattern of evolution, and this pattern is largely due to poorly managed psychosociological interactions leading to physical escalations. Hence, the Conflict Reversal and Prevention Model focus more on eliminating evolutions/causes and contributors of conflicts which consequentially eradicate the effects of such conflicts using psychosociological principles. This model also asserts that international conflicts can be effectively managed and solved without much offensive military assaults (or taking of human’s lives) except for defensive purposes. Applications and Assumptions The Model for International Conflict Reversal and Prevention is applied from two perspectives; a. To permanently solve, reverse and end any existing international conflict or war, and b. To prevent future international conflict or wars In order to permanently solve, reverse and end an existing international conflict or war, the Model for International Conflict Reversal and Prevention (MICRAP) is built on four major Copyright © 2017 || Adefioye Sunday Adewumi || All Rights Reserved MODEL FOR INTERNATIONAL CONFLICTS REVERSAL AND PREVENTION (MICRAP) || SDX Publishing assumptions based on the Trio-Dimension concept of Origins-Contributors-Effects introduced earlier. Terrorism Terrorism is the act of destroying lives and properties and unleashing mass fears usually by organized groups of people with violence orientations, believes and values. Conflicts/wars have been expressed to evolve basically from poorly managed psychosociological interactions while terrorism usually start primarily from socialization with wrong (conflictcentred) orientations. Terrorism is regarded as one of the major contributors to international conflict/wars however terrorism on its own (without affiliation/foundation to/on other causes of conflicts) cannot start an international conflict or war. Terrorism exists (is started and sustained) essentially with its strength and life-support centred on all forms of socialization. The primary sources of socialization have been identified to include; o Family o Religion o Peer Groups, and o Mass Media Terrorism serves as pseudo-origin and major contributors to international conflict/war, hence it is treated as an independent entity and in isolation of traditional/conventional international conflict/war patterns though terrorism is linked to international conflict/wars as one of its major contributors. Conceptual Dimensions of Terrorism Lifecycle of global terrorism could be considered from a similar perspective to the TrioDimensions to international conflicts with little modifications (e.g. introduction of the operational models). Terrorism in its entirety have no inertia as observed in international conflict or war since it is often drenched in “faith” or believes – a higher motivation than those fuelling international conflict. Therefore, four inherent components (dimensions to) terrorism are devised, these are; a. Evolution of Terrorism b. Contributors to Terrorism Copyright © 2017 || Adefioye Sunday Adewumi || All Rights Reserved MODEL FOR INTERNATIONAL CONFLICTS REVERSAL AND PREVENTION (MICRAP) || SDX Publishing c. Operational Models of Terrorism o Technological models (Weapons, Logistics and Communications) o Psychosociological models (Education, Mass Media and Religious Organizations) d. Effects of Terrorism o international conflict and wars, and o independent terror attacks and assaults The four major primary sources of socialization importantly serve as both the origin/causes/evolution of and major contributors to terrorism. Therefore, adapting and applying the Model for International Conflicts Reversal and Prevention (MICRAP) in eradicating global terrorism also involve eliminating the evolution/sources/origin/causes of terrorism and infiltrating/eliminating all contributors to terrorism using purely psychosociological principles. This will automatically isolate terror operations, defuse the effectiveness of all operational models for terrorism and consequentially ameliorate the effects of terrorism. Conclusion The MICRAP model is developed on the fundamental notion that ALL conflicts or wars can be permanently solved since they all follow the same general format/patterns of origin, contributors and effects. And since international conflicts emerges due to poorly managed psychosociological interactions, the same methods of its evolution can be adopted for its dissolution or conclusion with consideration for various integrated components that makes up the conflict or war. While there are slight distinctions between the processes of international conflicts/wars and terrorism, MICRAP is applicable in any nation, region or territory almost for all conflict/war situations and for effective cum sustainable international conflicts, wars and terrorism interventions.
