Cold war ideology replaced by identity-based conflicts. Problematic because his assumptions were too simplistic and broad. Good and bad identities > he assumes some identities are better than others. Nationalism and patriotism > nationalism thinks its country is better than others while patriotism is proud of its country but not over other countries. Johannes rau: pleased but not proud: you cannot be proud about something you didn"t choose, like where you were born. Citizenship and loyalty: hearts, minds, and passports. Ethnocentrism > excessively proud of one"s ethnic identity over other ethnic groups. Race as a neutral element: like eye color. Choosing to believe: converting in and opting out.
