The researchers aimed at explicating the influence of domestic conflicts and their subsequent spread across the other states. The subjects of the study were the African states and the world (Hill and Rothchild, 1986: 716). The domestic strife that emerged from 1962 to 1966 in Africa and the world are highlighted to accomplish the objectives of the study.
A wide range of theories was utilized in the study as the theories of relative deprivation, the existence of cultures of violence and the group mobilization. These theories are criticized as they assert significance on the variables which occur inside the boundaries of each state and are independent. They have struggled to delineate the impact and influence of domestic skirmishes across the boundaries of states.
The authors stipulated the hypothesis that the spread of political dispute is a fundamental feature of social learning. The instances of political complexities in a state encourage other states to engage in similar activities. For instance, the deprived communities may pursue the radical acts committed by an insurgent community in the other state.
In conclusion, the authors found that the mass media plays an instrumental role in the states where media is politicized. The flow of information is also critical relating to the internal state of a state for the other states in the circumstances involving violence and conflicts. The bottom line is that the recent occurrence of strife is likely to cause an international political conflict in other states.
The time span of the mid-1960s served a potential role in the research. The African region was focused and proved a focal point for investigating the influence of ethnicity and media. The African states ethnic segmentation is widespread in comparison to other regions and thus allowed to test the state's response to an external skirmish.
