Political Philosophy Politics of Identity and Political Order in Developing Countries

Politics of identity and political order in developing countries has been a focus of discussion by political scientists, especially international relations scholars. This paper emphasized the stigma of politics of identity and order in developing countries. The issues of politics of identity and order seriously affect the human rights of people in developing countries. The importance of the discussion of this topic cannot be ignored as it defines how societies of different backgrounds in terms of creed, culture, economic, and religious orientation interacts. Globally, some countries, particularly developing countries, have been explicitly identified based on their culture of spiritual practice and beliefs while at the same time maintaining freedom of religious association in their constitutions. However, other countries are circular in terms of religious freedom, thoughts. The minority religions interact with the majority, while for some developing countries, the minority religions suffer tremendous persecution and abuse. Issues of religious freedom and the political order, Feminism, migration, and xenophobia are also addressed in this paper. The paper further examined the political and social problems of some developing countries affected explicitly by the downside of identity politics and concluded that cultural differences amongst developing countries are more responsible for the intolerance and human rights abuses of citizens and non-citizens these countries.
