WHAT DOES LOCALIST MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Localism (politics)

Localism describes a range of political philosophies which prioritize the local. Generally, localism supports local production and consumption of goods, local control of government, and promotion of local history, local culture and local identity. Localism can be contrasted with regionalism and centralized government, with its opposite being found in the unitary state. Localism can also refer to a systematic approach to organizing a national government so that local autonomy is retained rather than following the usual pattern of government and political power becoming centralized over time. This view of Localism is defined in the work Localism, A Philosophy of Government by an author who uses the pseudonym “Achbani”. This work is available in the third edition as an e-book, while an earlier hardcover edition, circulated underground without even an ISBN, is rather rare.

Definition of localist in the English dictionary
