A conflict continuum is a model or concept various social science researchers use when modeling conflict on a continuum from low to high-intensity, such as from aggression to irritation to explosiveness.[1]

The mathematical model of game theory[a] originally posited only a winner and a loser (a zero-sum game) in a conflict, but was extended to cooperation (a win-win situation and a non-zero sum game),[b] and lets users specify any point on a scale between cooperation,[2] peace,[Note 1] rivalry, contest,[3] crisis,[4]: 2  and conflict[5] among stakeholders.
