    ABSTRACT

The determination of this study was to find out if the economic crisis and economic policies[i]are largely to blame for the conflicts and instability which is an environment best described as absence of negative peace in the 21th century Zimbabwe. The research limited its scope to only the conflicts which occurred from the year 2000 up to the current year which is 2018.

The research used conflict analysis tools to better understand the dynamics, nature and actors in the conflict in Zimbabwe. Particular attention was given to scrutinize the extent to which economic factors caused instability. Only a sample of few key informants was implored as respondents, the research was also premised on documentary review and reports from social media platforms like twitter. Structured and Semi-structured interviews were used to collect the information from the selected respondents. The findings were centred on the information captured in both qualitative face to face interactions and quantitative. Another purpose of this research was to validate or falsify that the economic crisis and policies are to blame for the conflicts and instability in Zimbabwe and also to update the existing data concerning the study area
