denationalization
Selling government assets
Denationalization is the transfer of a nationalized industry or asset from government ownership back to private hands—the reverse of nationalization.
Britain's denationalization of British Telecom in the 1980s became a model for privatization worldwide.
The term can also mean stripping someone of citizenship: The regime used denationalization as a weapon against dissidents.
