How does identity influence politics and international conflict? What happens when identities feel threatened or insecure?
In this session, we’ll explore how identity and security intersect, examining how non-physical threats to identity can fuel political tensions and conflict dynamics.
To ground our discussion, we’ll engage with three key articles: one outlines the theoretical framework, while the other two apply it to specific case studies—Turkey–Kurdish relations and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.
