An integral part of the global ethnic crisis is national conflicts on post-Soviet territory. It's not international conflicts in the traditional sense of the term, because that is not in the international sphere, and within the framework of a single State. At the same time, strictly speaking, today, they no longer are internal, because with the collapse of the Soviet Union due to its de facto the internationalization.
The term "tribalism" is a portmanteau. tribe is the tribe. In modern literature and political life is most often associated with tribalism, extremely hostile attitude of one ethnic group to another, etnosovinisticeskuu policy.
Continuing the conversation about the factors contributing to the escalation of ethnic tensions, note that in the literature analysis still descriptive or kon?unkturnopoliticeskij or ideological shade. Conceptual design of important topics are not yet available.
Those on environmental conflicts are most often discussed in the literature for the international rather than ethnic terms. But the notion of "national interest" and "public interest", as already noted, the meaning of their applications very often coincide. Most international environmental conflicts are essentially international.
The processes of assimilation and depopulation etnomenypinstv are nowadays in a variety of forms and are associated with the loss of the small ethnic groups their language, culture, religion, national identity, and with incestuous marriages, low birth rate, high mortality and respectively with "negative" for the natural growth of the population.
Among the factors that could destabilize ethnic relations is the process of aging of individual ethnic groups, in particular from Western Europe. The progressive aging of recent needs no special evidence. This is mainly due to the declining birth rate and increasing life expectancy. (Particularly unfavourable situation in Germany, Denmark, Austria, Belgium, Italy, where the fertility rate is minimal, which threatens to reduce the population of these countries through 50 years by about half.)
In the scale of humanity, the national question in the confrontation of two general trends: 1) of Nations for self-determination and independence, and 2) desire for the formation of large multi-ethnic communities, a powerful supernacij, where organically would be connected by a variety of ethnic groups, traditions, and culture.
It is clear that the mechanical transfer of false is a synonym "national interest" and "public interest" in the phrase "State borders" — "national border" can lead to unpredictable inter-ethnic conflicts.
Real life shows that ethnic conflicts do not arise under any stiff diagram, because it usually affects a huge number of factors of its own nature and evolution of self-control. In addition, the same factors in different regions and in different circumstances are manifested in different ways.

Growing economic and technological interdependence of States, accelerating the internationalization of social life, politics, culture and modern world are in some sense indivisible. At the same time, the growing desire of countries, peoples and population groups to identity makes it all the more unstable and unforeseen. Current changes in the political geography of the world are so important that they are sometimes compared with the process, begun after the peace treaty of Westphalia 1648, which marked a turning point in the formation of modern States. So, only 60 of the nearly 200 States existed on the eve of the 20th century, on the other hand, only in the first half of the 1990s, the UN has more than 20 new members States. Some famous scientists and public figures suggest that the current boundaries will increasingly lose their value if you do not meet the linguistic and territorial identity of Nations living there.
