$\large\underline\mathfrak{Answer:-}$

➢ Regionalism can be explained as an ‘insider-outsider’ thought process where the loyalties are tied to the region of origin.

➢Regionalism depends on the social setup, geography among other factors. At times, Regionalism can promote healthy competition and be a precursor to nationalism. However, it can also lead to bitterness and petty politics such as the case of numerous river water disputes in India.

➢What is the aim of Regionalism?

Regionalism and those that believe in its ideology are concerned with increasing the political power and influence of the residents of a particular region. Their demands include but are not limited to sovereignty, separatism, secession and independence. Regionalists tend to favour a confederation of loss states instead of a unitary nation-state with a strong central government.
