metadata.value: The article presents an overview of the latest challenges to sustainable political development
  highlighted in contemporary research. Among these challenges is the advent of the Anthropocene
  epoch, with transhumanism, including the large-scale development of artificial intelligence, and
  the crisis of group identities. Rapid and sometimes abrupt cultural changes that have occurred
  in the recent decades, transformations in the relations between people, between humanity and
  nature, are leading to the manifestation of a crisis of group identity, ranging from local to national
  identities. As a result of analyzing academic publications, the author concludes that in recent years there has been a large-scale growth in works on identity issues, the concept of identity
  being increasingly common in the political vocabulary. The article identifies two points of view
  on identity: the first one posits the fact that identity is based on differences and disagreements
  that need to be overcome, while the second one insists that differences should be maintained
  and preserved. The author justifies the idea that the response to the identity crisis may be to use
  the possibilities of “soft” constructing identity values and social memory within the framework of
  identity policies aimed at shaping national identity, which includes a range of regional and local
  identities. Such an answer is a complex and controversial process associated with the acquisition
  of the nation’s subjectivity. Self-identification and the acquisition of various identities constructed
  by dominant groups lead to an awareness of the subjectivity of diverse groups and to new risks
  and conflicts in the struggle for values. Nevertheless, the recognition of identity crises as an urgent
  political challenge, the study and understanding of emerging conflicts, and the search for
  positive ways out of them make it possible to combine global optics with the interests of the nation
  state, the individual and small local groups.
