The aim of the article is to present the problem of intercultural dialog in the context of territorial sovereignty respect. In detail, author describes the main reasons for ethnic separatism and its influence on society. The article highlights examples of separatism manifestations around the globe and determines its main typologies. Significantly, the quantitative and qualitative markers for evaluating separatist movement are determined. The focus revolves around the differences between the ethnic, religious and racial separatism. It should be capitalized, that in the process of conflict it’s relevant to depict the role of stereotypes, phobias, labeling and prejudice. Furthermore, accelerating globalization processes testify to the notion of intercultural competencies, enabling research stakeholders to manage cultural diversity more effectively and monitor development according to recommended measurements of success. It’s hard to deny that without such competency model, misunderstandings and stereotypes rooted in identity are conflict capable. Moreover, the authors intend to systemize and propose the strategy of ethnic policy that can be done in order to avoid any of cross-cultural conflicts.
