Autonomism
Definition
A political doctrine, movement, or orientation that advocates for obtaining, extending, or maintaining the administrative, legislative, or cultural autonomy of a region or an ethnic community within a sovereign unitary state. This doctrinal current leans toward the decentralization of central power without necessarily pursuing complete territorial separation or total state independence, focusing instead on the recognition of specific structural rights.
