Separatism is the advocacy of a state of cultural, ethnic, tribal, religious, racial, governmental or gender separation from the larger group. While it often refers to full political secession,〔(Free Dictionary ); (Merriam Webster dictionary ); (''The Oxford Pocket Dictionary of Current= English 2008'' ).〕 separatist groups may seek nothing more than greater autonomy. While some critics may equate separatism with religious segregation, racist segregation, or sexist segregation, most separatists argue that separation by choice is not the same as government-enforced segregation and may serve useful purposes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】last=Howell )〕 ==Motivations== Groups may have one or more motivations for separation, including: * emotional resentment and hatred of rival communities. * protection from ethnic cleansing and genocide. * resistance by victims of oppression, including denigration of their language, culture or religion. * propaganda by those who hope to gain politically from intergroup conflict and hatred. * economic and political dominance of one group that does not share power and privilege in an egalitarian fashion. * detaching from generally accepted stereotypes and sacrificing more time to create happiness mote sustainability than the current flow of things. * economic motivations: seeking to end economic exploitation by more powerful group or, conversely, to escape economic redistribution from a richer to a poorer group. * preservation of threatened religious, language or other cultural tradition. * destabilization from one separatist movement giving rise to others. * geopolitical power vacuum from breakup of larger states or empires. * continuing fragmentation as more and more states break up. * feeling that the perceived nation was added to the larger state by illegitimate means. * the perception that the state can no longer support one's own group or has betrayed their interests. * opposition to political decisions. * wish to have a more practical political structure and not rely on people who are located far away to govern them or otherwise impractical solutions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Separatism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
