紛争
Basically it is 紛争(funsou).
What would be a good word may depend on what kind of conflict you are referring to.
*Military clash = 軍事衝突(military clash)
*Conflicts or clashes between different groups of people, using arms and weapons= 武力衝突(buryoku shoutotu)
*Conflicts in a specific region = 地域紛争(chiiki funsou)
If you would like to talk about conflicts in general without specifying what kind of conflict you are referring to:
There is a conflict in the middle east = 中東で紛争が起きている（Chutou de funsou ga okite iru.)
If you would like to refer to specific types of conflicts, you can replace the words,軍事衝突/武力衝突/地域紛争 with the word 紛争。
I hope I answered your question.

Next to 軍事衝突, I meant to write the pronounciation in the parenthesis, which is ¥"Gunji shoutotsu¥"

All answers of two other members are exactly right. So, I add one another. This Japanese term is used; for example 'conflict of interests among creditors.'
