depoliticising
Stripping partisan character
Depoliticising is removing political character or significance from something, or treating it as a neutral matter rather than a contested one.
Governments may attempt to depoliticise issues by delegating them to independent bodies: The central bank was established to depoliticise monetary policy.
Critics often argue that depoliticising obscures underlying power dynamics.
