disestablishment
Formal separation process
Disestablishment is the process of removing an institution's official or privileged status, especially separating a church from state sponsorship.
In England, debates over the disestablishment of the Church of England have recurred for centuries.
More broadly, any dismantling of an established system: the disestablishment of old power structures.
