On National Self‐determination

Author

Listed:
  • Margaret Moore

Abstract

This paper argues in favour of a conception of self‐determination which involves the equal recognition of different national identities. It proceeds by, first, criticizing the dominant territorial (in contrast to national) conception of self‐determination. It then addresses three main criticisms of a principle of national self‐determination. These are (1) the argument from indeterminacy; (2) the argument from instability; (3) the problem of overlapping nationalities.
