nationalist movements
Sovereignty-seeking collective efforts
Nationalist movements are organized efforts to establish, maintain, or strengthen a nation's identity, independence, or territorial integrity.
They may seek to create a new nation-state from colonial rule or imperial control, unify a culturally distinct population under one government, or resist outside influence: Nationalist movements swept across Africa in the mid-20th century.
The term can describe both liberation struggles and exclusionary politics emphasizing ethnic or cultural purity.
