Autonomism (political doctrine)

Not to be confused with Autonomism, a left-wing political philosophy (also known as Autonomist Marxism).

Autonomism is a political doctrine which supports acquiring or preserving political autonomy of a nation or a region. It is not necessarily opposed to federalism, and souverainism necessarily implies autonomism, but not vice versa.

Examples of autonomist parties include the Yidishe Folkspartay (lit. "Jewish People's Party") (Russian Empire/Poland/Lithuania); Union Nationale, Action démocratique du Québec, and its successor Coalition Avenir Québec (Quebec), and recent (2018) Freedom Conservative Party of Alberta (Alberta), all in Canada; New Macau Association in China (Macau); Parti progressiste martiniquais (Martinique) in France; Lega Nord in Italy (Northern Italy); Popular Democratic Party in the United States (Puerto Rico); and the Yorkshire Party in the United Kingdom (Yorkshire).
