Given the general neglect of space and place in the study of conflict and conflict processes- especially in contrast to the temporal context- this article makes a plea for a more explicit and extensive attention to the spatial contexts of social phenomena. In so doing, the paper discusses the importance of space, the relationship between space and time, how space and spatiality can be studied, and the continuing challenges that come with the study of space, and of combining the study of space and time in our analyses of social phenomena.
