Preferred term

stateless nation  

Definition

  • A definition of a stateless nation included several elements, such as a sharing by the inhabitants of a self-perceived common culture and history, an attachment to a particular territory within a larger state, and a desire for home rule and eventual independence, as noted by Montserrat Guibernau (1999). In broad terms, a stateless nation can be referred to as a minority nation that has secured or aims to achieve a degree of institutional autonomy or independence within a plural or multinational state, and that concurs or coexists with a majority nation or other regions or ethnoterritorial groups.
