Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of such a category as sovereignty. In the process of sovereignization, national, popular and state sovereignty are realized. They are not identical, because each of them has its own independent subject: national – nation, popular – people, state – state. However, and this should be especially emphasized, all these sovereignties are organically connected and closely intertwined. In monoethnic states, national, popular and state sovereignty coincide, removing the main contradictions and problems. In a polyethnic state, the dialectic of their relationship is quite complex. National and state sovereignty are essentially different forms of manifestation of national sovereignty: the first reflects its ethnic organization, and the second – state. This understanding of the dialectic of the relationship between national, popular and state sovereignty is the most common point of view and has found legal support in international law. At the same time, the terms "national", "people's" and "state" sovereignty are used practically as synonyms, although preference is given to the term "state sovereignty". On the other hand, sovereignty is a form of democratic life, a necessary condition for the normalization of interethnic relations. However, it is worth considering that both the absolutization and hyperbolization of sovereignty also hide significant political losses. Sovereignty should not become an end in itself. Despite all its importance, it is only a means, a tool for creating favorable conditions for the political, socio-economic and spiritual development of the people, ensuring peaceful and mutually beneficial cooperation with other peoples. The UN has also expressed a negative attitude towards "absolute sovereignty", considering it incompatible with the principles of the world community and the status of an individual as a subject of international law, seeing "absolute sovereignty" as one of the main obstacles to international cooperation. In addition, globalization poses new challenges to sovereignty.
