This research will address the relationship between cooperation and conflict. Despite minor disagreements on the nature of cooperation and conflict, a majority of current works regard these seemingly opposite events as mutually exclusive ones. Concerning this theoretical issue, we organize the following research question: Are cooperation and conflict mutually reinforcing, exclusive, or irrelevant? In order to test this proposition, this research employs the Granger causality test and finds that these seemingly opposite events are rather mutually reinforcing in their nature.
