- 1地方主義、區域主義（政治上要求地區有更多自主）
Regionalism is loyalty to one part of a country — a province, an island, a north or a south — plus the wish that this part should have more of its own political power, or run more of its own affairs. It is not only “I love my hometown.” It is a political stance: this region is a real community, and the distant capital should not decide everything. You hear it in news about many countries when a local area wants more say. Though actually, language teachers also use regionalism for a word or phrase that belongs to one area (a southern word, a northern word). That second sense is milder and has nothing to do with independence. The sentence around it tells you which one people mean.
組成regional + -ism (a belief or movement).
