Editing Plurinationalism

'''Plurinationalism''', or '''plurinationality''' is the coexistence of two or more preserved national groups within a single polity, usually a nation state. 

In circumstances where the Leninist conception of national self-determination is not necessary (i.e. the minority nation does not wish to secede into a new nation-state) nations can be adequately protected and represented by a plurinational state. 

One example of this is the socialist state of [[Plurinational State of Bolivia|Bolivia]], which maintains the line of plurinationality in order to preserve the national character of indigenous groups while also dealing with the historical facts of colonization; particularly the large Mestizo population.
