Ethnonationalism:A strong feeling of belonging to a nation that is
a minority within a state, has its own distinctive homeland within
the state=s territory, and has deeply rooted feelings that it is
different from the rest of the state=s population.
Homeland:Perceived ancestral territory of a nation. Irredentism:A
movement to reunite a nation=s homeland when part of it is
contained within another state. The piece of homeland that is ruled
by the other state is known as an irredenta. Nation:The largest
human grouping characterized by a common origin or ancestry. A
territorially based community of people who usually have similar
language or religion, a common history (real or imagined), and
accepted social ways of behavior that give it a common culture.
Nation-State:A state that has the same boundaries as a
nation.
Nationalism: Loyalty to the nation to which you belong. Often
misused today to refer to patriotism. Patriotism:Loyalty to the
governing state in which you live. Regional Autonomy:Limited
self-rule for a region within the larger state. Refugee:A person
who is outside of their country due to a well-founded fear of
persecution, and who is unable or unwilling to return.
Secession:Complete break-off of a region into an autonomous,
independent state. This occurs when a separatist movement achieves
its goals. Separatism:The desire to break a region away from its
state and form a new independent state.
Shatterbelt:A region caught between powerful forces whose
boundaries are continually redefined. State: A political territory
equivalent to a country. Necessary components to qualify as a
full-fledged state include (a) defined boundaries, (b) an effective
government, (c) international recognition of their formal
independence, (d) full sovereignty, (e) an organized economy and
circulation system, and (f) a permanent resident population.
