National self-determination is a right refers to a nation’s pursuit of "one nation, one country".It is also a right which precipitates the pursuit to combine a society linked with blood and geography of human social ties. Obviously, it is a purest natural pursuit. Since the principle of national self-determination become a widely accepted principle, it become a an important guiding principle to solve the national problems. However,in the later 20th century, the movement of national self-determination is another name of ethnic separatist movement, which has caused chaos in the world.In the philosophical sense, on the hand,national self-determination emphasize the individual obedience to the collective, on the another hand,excessive emphasis on the individual obedience to the whole can easily cause individual blindness, resulting in irrational and fanatical groups.In the legal sense, although national self-determination become a widely accepted principle, these questions (who is eligible to self-determination, whether to support behavior of separation from the existing state or not, national self-determination and national sovereignty) are unable to get a clear answer. Therefore, in the real world, the implementation of national self-determination is a complex question.There are so many real case to research. In these turbulent movement of national self-determination, some become independent sovereign states, while some are still in the way to independence. Obviously, it is helpful to us to compare the successful with fail cases to get some beneficial experience.Then,we will have a further understanding of self-determination which includes its future and its interactive relationship with national sovereignty.On this basis,it does good to us to make out the ethnic issue and solve national problems.Furthermore,it is of profound significance for us to complete modern nation-state construction, and this is also the starting and resting point in this article.
