Confrontations Shape Identity
*Joergen Oerstroem Moeller* *Security, Europe* [image: Reuters] The question is how to get those confrontations right. A strong national identity is good, but a xenophobic backlash is not.

It is found by comparing themselves with people “on the other side of the hill.” Identity is conducive to depict those other people as enemies or opponents. The search for identity thus sows the seeds of confrontation—even of conflicts among nations. Without s... more »
