As an important means of solving internal ethnic problems and harmonizing ethnic relations for multinational countries, the system of ethnic regional autonomy has been adopted by many countries.

This paper takes the ethnic regional autonomy system of Basque as a sample and mainly discourses on its operation in order to illuminate its positive significance in dealing with ethnic problems and the limitation of the system itself.
