Journal Title: Politicus - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue
Abstract
The article reviews the place of ethnic and national identity in the structure of other group identities, describes psychological mechanisms and phenomenon of self-awareness as a member of ethnic entity, characterizes separatism as a destructive version of ethnogenesis, which contradicts state interests. Currently a number of countries observe the flare of patriotic movements, which is tied to the development of public identity. However, local patriotism is the factor of not only consolidation, but also of confrontation (up until demonstration of separatism). Separatism acts as a destructive version of ethnogenesis, because it expresses the demonstration of ethnos contradicting state interests. Conclusions about availability of several directions in the development of socio-psychological background of formation of ethnic separatism are made through the analysis of scientific literature and based on the conducted research.
