Yes, social conflict theory and conflict theory refer to the same theoretical perspective that highlights power struggles and inequalities within society as the root causes of social problems. Social conflict theory examines how various social groups compete for resources and power, leading to conflict and change within societies.
Contemporary conflict theorists in sociology are concerned with the conflict between social classes, specifically between the ruling class and the working class. They focus on how power dynamics, inequality, and exploitation shape society and perpetuate conflict.
Classical sociological theory makes all persons equal under the state with everything being state owned. Contemporary theory allows for differences in class/sociopolitical standing while retaining the core values of the classical theory.
Social conflict theory is also called conflict theory or critical theory. It emphasizes the role of power, inequality, and oppression in shaping social relationships and institutions.
The neo-conflict theory is a theory that is based on the writing of Karl Marx. It is the idea that conflict in society is based on the product of an exploitive relationship between the social classes of society.
The conflict theory explains capitalism, and how capitalism will eventually be demolished by the rise of the working class (causing tension/conflict)
conflict theory looks at the balance between the order and disorder in the family structure.
Conflict theory is the view that human behavior is shaped by interpersonal conflict and that those who maintain social power will use it to further their own ends.
This sociological theory is known as conflict theory. Conflict theory focuses on the unequal distribution of power, resources, and opportunities in society and how this leads to conflict and competition between different social groups. It highlights the role of power dynamics in shaping social structures and outcomes.

A subtheory (sub-theory) is a theory which is based upon, or largely contained within, a larger theory. For instance, in my own field of sociology, value conflict theory might be considered a subtheory of conflict theory. Similarly, social exchange theory is a subtheory of social behaviorism.
