| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Both Will Kymlicka (1995) and David Miller (1995) have defended the value of national self-determination and have argued that a properly organised self-determining nation respects rather than undermines the equal treatment of all of its members, including ethnic, religious and cultural minorities. I argue that their respective attempts to defend national self-determination and the equal treatment of all members of the nation are saddled with a serious tension. It is actually quite difficult to coherently argue both that (a) national self-determination fulfils ethically valuable ends, and that (b) a self-determining nation can treat all members equally. The equality-respecting requirement is in tension with the claim that nations secure ethically valuable goods for their members |
