This thesis is an attempt to design the foundations of a conflict epistemology which is an interdisciplinary procedural epistemology which poses questions of epistemological relevance in the light of conflict. Therefore it borrows empirical research and data from social psychology, political sciences and peace and conflict studies. Elements of a conflict epistemology include concepts such as (a)symmetry in the access of information, trust, zero-sum and non-zero sum games, rationality, soft power, (normative) leverage and credibility, which are reviewed separately. Theoretically, it is faithful to the argument of Muzafer Sherif which enables the existence of a social psychology, and which departs from the distinction between an individual and social psychology. Beside that, his experiment in zero-sum conflict, a famous demonstration of realist conflict theory, is laid out as a point of departure for further research with regard to non-zero sum conflict. Attention is drawn to the complex role of media in conflict situations because their documentation might provide a platform for the conceptual analysis of the dimensions of its role and its effects.
