The paper analyzes the causes, reasons and consequences of global crises
in relation to identities. Globalization as a phenomenon has a twofold impact on
identities: it brings them closer together and affirms them, but at the same time,
it threatens identity differences through the processes of assimilation and identity
uniformity. The aim of the work is to see how global crises, primarily political and
economic ones, disintegrate identities. Such identity disintegration under the influence
of global, political and economic crises has been manifested in migrations
during the two decades of the 21st century. The paper also analyzes two migrant
waves: the first, from 2015 to 2019, and the second, from 2022 to date. The first is a
consequence of the political crisis caused by the wars in Syria, Afghanistan, Libya,
Nigeria and Eritrea, and the second is a consequence of the war conflict in Ukraine.
The migrations that are a consequence of those wars have moved millions of people,
especially towards the countries of the European Union. This also includes economic
migrations as a consequence of poverty and misery in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan
and the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa. These migrations open up and fuel major
identity problems, both now and in the futur
