reassertion
Stating again firmly
Reassertion is the act of asserting something again, typically after it has been challenged, forgotten, or allowed to lapse.
A government's reassertion of control over a region implies that control had weakened.
The word often carries connotations of restored authority or renewed emphasis: the reassertion of traditional values, a reassertion of American power.
