denationalisation
Selling public assets
Denationalisation is the transfer of a nationalised industry or asset from government ownership to private hands—the reverse of nationalisation.
Britain's denationalisation of British Telecom in the 1980s became a model for privatisation worldwide.
The spelling with -ization is American; -isation is British.
