Often prefixed by the term ‘national’, this is a doctrine which postulates the right of national (sense 1) groups to determine their political condition for themselves, and more particularly whether they should constitute sovereign states. The doctrine\'s espousal by President Woodrow Wilson had some impact on the emergence of new states in central and eastern Europe after the First World War; and its wide popularity after the Second World War contributed to the rapid ending of the overseas empires of the West European colonial powers. See also colonialism; Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples; General Assembly. |
