It isn't about ideology. It isn't about religion. It is about governance and it is about the higher order aspects of Maslow's hierarchy. People under governance they believe has no right to govern them (illegitimacy); people under governance that acts in a manner seen as inappropriate in their culture (exceeding sovereignty); people under a rule of law they do not perceive as just (injustice); people treated differently than other similarly situated populations (disrespect); and populations who perceive they have no effective legal means available to them to seek the changes to fix any or all of the above (disempowered).
While much of your model is a useful lens to view conflicts through as long as one doesn't get blinded by it to other aspects that influence the conflict. I still think you have failed to make a case that ideology and religion don't play a determinant role. Shia's fighting Sunnis is certainly about religion, just as the 30 year war in Europe was largely about religion. To claim good governance would have prevented this is out in left field. Ideology also certainly plays a role, many governments govern by ideology, the U.S. included. The Cold War was largely an ideological conflict. Governments are seen as wrong, not necessarily illegitimate, if they conform to a particular ideology those opposing the government believe in. Ideological forms provide resistance with ideas for an alternative future. Again it is ideas and ideology that rocks the world, nothing else.
