Broadly speaking, this article proposes to answer this question of why in some countries, conflict is low and if so, how managed and controlled? But other countries faced with varieties of conflicts and experienced violent consequences. The theoretical framework of this study based on analyzing and explaining mutual relations among economic, political dimensions, the density of valuable resources and its distribution mode and quality of governance. The methodological strategy is established upon the fuzzy approach, sufficient and necessary condition of occurrence of the result, recognition of structure and causal mechanism. The Findings indicate that inequality in wealth, nominal inequality, an economy based on energy export was not a sufficient and necessary condition of violent political conflict but the absence of democracy, economic underdevelopment, and absence of governance quality are alone sufficient and necessary condition violent political conflict. Also combining of two conditions namely economic development and democracy and inequality in wealth and democracy are sufficient condition of violent political conflict. Results of multiple conjectural causations reveal that aggressive political conflict includes the absence of inequality in wealth, the absence of democracy, existence of nominal inequality, the absence of economic development and governance quality.
