Identities are back. The big issues at stake in our days (globalization, the growingimportance of financial activities in the economic global system, technological revolution,migratory flows) have a big impact on people and social systems. Fear isoften the first reaction. With reference to some recent works focusing on the revivalof identities, the present paper tries to analyze the connection between social andeconomic changes, fear and the revival of identity claims. These claims are examinedboth at psychological (as recognition claims) and at a philosophical and social level (asclaims for identification and control through activity and social rights). By pinpointingthe difficult to transform individual or group identities into political claims for socialemancipation, the paper suggests that the way to contrast regressive, violent anddiscrimination-based identities goes necessarily through the rehabilitation of politicsmeant as the combining force between social conflict and social solidarity. This combinationshould take place in the form of a new “pact of citizenshipµ which involvesthe connection between democratic rights and State sovereignty.
