De-escalation
Decrease in severity of conflicts / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
De-escalation refers to the methods and actions taken in order to decrease the severity of a conflict, whether it may be of a physical, verbal, or other nature. It is directly antithetical to the concept of escalation. It may also refer to approaches in conflict resolution, by which specific measures are taken to avoid behaviors that tend to escalate conflict. De-escalation can be modeled with game theory.[1]
