CONSOLIDATION PROBLEMS IN POLYCULTURAL STATES
Of particular relevance in modern communities are the problems of constructing political identity at the macro level, determining the tools for creating a common field of social communication for representatives of different cultural and political beliefs. The study of the experience of states shows that the multiculturalism of states and supra-state communities creates additional difficulties in the process of forming a macro-political identity, consolidating communities on the basis of agreed social goals and values. The construct of macro-political identity is determined by ethnic structure, cultural traditions and other objective factors. Identity in its macro-political dimension (national, national-civil, civil- national, civil, etc.) is an essential factor in stabilizing the social system and a resource for political development.
