Mari Fitzduff presents a structural theory of conflict. Fitzduff recounts her experiences with a large number of conflicts from around the world and these led to her stage theory. The specific details of conflicts matter less, than the way general patterns of intergroup relations and leadership function to intensify or limit conflicts. Fitzduff also was a core participant in a period during the 1970s when London rule existed and civil servants, London legislators, and Northern Irish NGOs worked together to create new programs or to eliminate destructive practices. Combatants in Northern Ireland had fewer issues to fight about and this fostered peace.
