Summary/Abstract: Right to self-determination and secession in a certain historical period was a romantic vision of many in a complex state of integrated national community, which in this legal institute of international law have seen their better future. However, in terms of globalization and a unipolar world, exploitation or use of this right can be for many "secession" community adventure with unforeseeable bad consequences for them. Practice shows that most of the people or communities that were dreamed independence and sovereignty for themselves, secession reached a second and more severe form of addiction and lack of freedom. From the perspective of the development of civil democracy, self-determination in the form of secession of certain people from the internationally recognized state board's process, which contradicts the basic idea of the bourgeois and democratic state, and the state of citizens, communities of people rather than nation. So, in the new circumstances the right of peoples to self-determination and secession no longer have the significance that it had in the past, what are the best proven results available secession states of the former Yugoslavia and the referendum for secession of Scotland from the United Kingdom.
