Summary: | Changes on the political map of the world at the end of the Cold War, the conflicts that arose following these adjustments, along with awareness of the widespread consequences of the migration phenomenon have reminded the international public opinion the disparity between the trend of homogeneous political communities and the pronounced degree of diversity that characterizes a significant part of the states of the contemporary world. The challenges faced by the political communities in this context have brought back to the agenda older dilemmas related to the tools available to states in terms of their interest in administrative-territorial centralization and economic integration, cultural-linguistic standardization, creation and supporting a common space for identification and political participation.
