What is the relationship between identity and security in international relations?The refugee issue is typical to reflect the relationship between identity and security, especially in
developing countries.
Compared with developed countries, developing countries due to lack of abundant capital
support and perfect management mechanism, in the context of the continuing influx of refugees,
within countries in political, economic, and social and other fields to bear the huge pressure and
impact, increases the vulnerability of the national development to a certain extent, also cause
the contradictions and conflicts between countries in the region, poses a challenge to maintain
the regional order.
For example, nearly 1.1 million Syrians live in Lebanon as refugees after the outbreak of the
Syrian civil war in 2011. A large number of refugees poured into Lebanon, bringing a heavy
burden to Lebanon's economy, society and security. From the perspective of living status,
Lebanese refugees are in a relatively bad living condition and lack of security guarantee from lack
of personal security, which makes it difficult for refugees in Lebanon to form a good sense of
identity. From the perspective of the formation of identity, refugees in Lebanon live in a relatively
concentrated life, and they seldom interact with Lebanese residents and the society, so it is
difficult to form corresponding identity. Moreover, the large number of refugees and the
concentrated distribution of refugee places make Lebanon a state of "a state within a state". The
impact on national security brought by the refugee issue has pushed the Lebanese government
to take tough measures against refugees, which further worsens the living environment of
refugees, and to a certain extent forms a vicious circle chain in which the lack of personal security
impacts national security.
Therefore, in order to solve the refugee problem and avoid the threat to national security
brought by the refugee problem, it is necessary to make the refugee group form a correct identity
from the perspective of identity, so as to promote the smooth settlement of the refugee problem.
