A theory of the structure and process of community conflict is developed around concepts used in earlier works in the field. Then propositions relating to the central elements of community conflict are presented by concentrating on the primary variable: scope. Propositions constructed with other relevant structural variables are introduced. To begin with, procedures used in developing the propositions are discussed; and, then, suggestions for measuring them are given. Finally, implications of the theory in analyses of change are discussed
