The paper develops a conceptual analysis covering a large scientific range regarding the identitary conflict and its components and last but not least, it introduces the new security challenges. The conflicts between identities are hierarchically classified by the time honoured scientific instruments and criteria, commencing from the most serious and legitimate sources in this field. The scientific approach is built in a systematic multi-disciplinary attempt, meant to identify both the favouring inner causes of the identitary conflicts and the real context in which they occur. The particular and axiological elements are supplemented with historic, geopolitical and sociological landmarks, in their dynamic nature. The independence of the present-day identitary conflict is therefore tackled from the angle of globalization and democracy-based changing processes in the life of the society, of a new economic geography of the states and the states’ need of security against the grand backdrop of vanishing of the economic walls between nations.
