Popis This paper compares traditional tributary relations of Mongolia, Korea and Vietnam with their Inner Asian neighbor (China). The purpose of this presentation is to explore the rules of negotiated relations under the condition of latent conflict as this circumstance is basic for international politics and even for the lower level of the “violence of everyday life”. Besides analysis of factors contributing to withdrawal from active violence, the main aim of the paper is evaluation of the role of religious systems contributing to moderation of conflict in both senses of suppression and ignition of violence. As a regulatory or catalyst principle for both strategies (ignition or suppression), the religious systems use ethical norms or mythological justification. From evolutionary point of view, the available data show the growing role of religious moderation or suppression in correspondence to growing sedentarization on one side and cultural unification on the other side. On the contrary populations highly dependent on traditional mobility like the Turks and Mongolian groups had more fluid attitude to particular religions, but later followed the same processes as large sedentarized cultures. The data also show, that after prehistorically co-evolved relation of religious and ruling professionals, later conditions of socially, geographically and politically unified cultures are widening the conflict of interests between both religion and governance and have also deeper and large scale impact on their mutual influences and continuing co-evolution.
