Type: article
Abstract: Background.This article is devoted to issues of political and social identity related to the political practice of the state and its ideology opposed to other group identities. Despite the fundamental importance of the identification of an individual with a certain group, in the context of globalization and the international struggle for power one question remains unresolved whether such attitudes lead to the strengthening of social justice or disorganize it. In this regard the subject of the research is the methodology for implementing the principles of political identity as axiological foundations for strengthening social justice. Purpose.The purpose of the research is to analyze strategies for achieving political identity, which make it possible to systematize social phenomena and organizational mechanisms that are able to put into practice socially significant potential for achieving social, legal and managerial objectivity. Methodology.The methodological base of the study includes analytical and organizational approaches, psychological and socio-constructionist approaches to describing the concept of identity, the principle of political construction of social identities, as well as a comparative method for measuring meaningful principles of building political identity. Results.The problems of associating political identity with power dominance ideology can be resolved through asserting the paradoxical nature of identity as the foundation of national individualization making the social life of the group meaningful, structured, and authentic. Balance and social justice in such society can be achieved by maintaining the rights and freedoms of citizens, preserving cultural values and traditions, as well as fostering a nationwide desire for effective social, political and economic activities. Practical implications.The results of the study can be applied in the sphere of socio-political design of practical programs and initiatives of socio-political identity.
