NATIONAL-STATE IDENTITY IN MODERN EUROPE IN THE CONTEXT OF MIGRATION AND POLITICAL PROCESSES

In: Political Science Issues, Heft 3(33) part: 9, S. 330-336

Abstract

The article analyzes the features of the transformation of national-state identity in Western Europe under the influence of the migration crisis. In this regard, the study examined some theoretical approaches to the issues of national-state identity that allow to identify the features of its modern transformation. The authors focus on the relationship between migration and political processes in Europe, the symbiosis of which becomes a factor in the rejection of migrants by European society and the growing popularity of political forces with conservative and partly right-populist rhetoric. Thus, the observed renaissance of national loyalty becomes the main factor in the transformation of national-state identity.
