Abstract
The article analyzes the discourse on an essence of such widespread phenomena in the contemporary world as ethnic diversity and identity. They are defined by the author as socio-cultural phenomena. Much attention is paid to the interaction of these phenomena and its impact on social development. It is emphasized that ethnic diversity, contributing to the preservation and development of ethno-cultural variety is a positive phenomenon in itself, can lead to the emergence of isolationist tendencies in the development of polyethnic societies. Such trends are to some extent inherent in identity too. However, in specific conditions, the functioning of civic, European, national, political-civic, spatial-territorial identity stimulates unification processes within certain administrative-territorial entities. Activities for compromise interaction of ethnic diversity and identities, as well as overcoming their negative effects on public relations are discussed. The article is based on the study of the achievements of foreign and Ukrainian researchers in the field of ethnic interaction and ethnicity in general. 
Highlights
General remarksWe propose to consider the problem identified in the title of this article in the following aspects: 1) ethnic diversity is a state of ethnic situation in a certain social space (administrative-territorial unit) where there are numerous actors who are in constant interactions; if we use the term “ethnic diversification”, we mean a process; 2) identity is a socio-cultural phenomenon (this hypothesis tends to be defined as an axiom); 3) identity and ethnic diversity are in permanent interactions, creating certain challenges for each other and for social development; 4) skillful ethno-political management is an efficient tool for compromises in the interactions of both phenomena

Summary
We propose to consider the problem identified in the title of this article in the following aspects: 1) ethnic diversity is a state of ethnic situation in a certain social space (administrative-territorial unit) where there are numerous actors who are in constant interactions; if we use the term “ethnic diversification”, we mean a process; 2) identity is a socio-cultural phenomenon (this hypothesis tends to be defined as an axiom); 3) identity and ethnic diversity are in permanent interactions, creating certain challenges for each other and for social development; 4) skillful ethno-political management is an efficient tool for compromises in the interactions of both phenomena. In accordance with the above aspects, we structure our presentation as follows: content of ethnic diversity; identity content; contexts of interaction of ethnic diversity and identity. Before we begin the discussion, we need to clarify the essence of two key phenomena: “ethnic diversity” and “identity”
