According to the identity perspective, what is the distribution of identities, and how can it determine how states cooperate or conflict?

What will be an ideal response?

Varies. The distribution of identities describes how the identities of states are positioned in relation to one another. On one level, it describes the relative identities of states—how similar (convergent) or different (divergent) they are compared to each other. On a second level, it describes the shared identities of states—any overarching norms that define a common culture among states. States with converging relative identities may cooperate more than states with diverging relative identities; states with a strong shared identity may cooperate more than states without a shared identity.
