Spanish term (edited):
el referente externo constitutivo (de la unidad nacional)
the external referent establishing national unity
To be honest, I put the source term in Google translate and for once it came up with what I consider to be the closest match. What do you think?

con·sti·tu·tive (adj.)
1. Making a thing what it is; essential.
2. Having power to institute, establish, or enact.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/constitutive
If something is said to be the "impetus behind" a movement (or some sort of collective action), its nature might be understood as already being "constitutive"; nonetheless, in order to more clearly account for "constitutivo," another option might be "the foundational, external impetus behind national unity."
Some final suggestions:
the foundational, external impetus behind national unity
the foundation-laying, external impetus behind (the drive towards) national unity
the essential, external driving-force behind national unity
I hope this helps!
Cheers from the Marianas :-)
