Racism, racial affiliation, identity and inter-racial conflicts that have been present on the threshold of the new millennium are a continuous and inexhaustible socio-political and security topic. With their complex nature, these issues are a subject of numerous discussions and interpretations within various contexts and for various purposes, whose contents are more or less ideological. This is an attempt to analyse and impartially present security aspects of theoretical and doctrinary roots, factors and consequences of modern racism, racial division and interracial conflicts in developed and other societies, this particularly including transition ones. The paper also endeavours to find out the causes and mechanisms of racism transformation from the biological to the cultural level.
