autonomist
Regional independence supporter
An autonomist advocates for self-governance or independence from central authority.
The term appears in political contexts ranging from regional separatist movements to anarchist philosophy, where autonomists seek freedom from state control.
In European politics especially, autonomist parties push for greater regional self-determination: Autonomist candidates won several seats in the regional assembly.
