  In this paper we develop a scientific approach to control inter-country
conflict. This system makes use of a neural network and a feedback control
approach. It was found that by controlling the four controllable inputs:
Democracy, Dependency, Allies and Capability simultaneously, all the predicted
dispute outcomes could be avoided. Furthermore, it was observed that
controlling a single input Dependency or Capability also avoids all the
predicted conflicts. When the influence of each input variable on conflict is
assessed, Dependency, Capability, and Democracy emerge as key variables that
influence conflict.
