state divestiture


Explanation:
Another possibility.

Was ist Entstaatlichung? Entstaatlichung [engl. (state) divestiture] wird als Oberbegriff verwendet für weltweite makro-ökonomische Reformprozesse mit dem Ziel, den Grad der unmittelbaren staatlichen Einflussnahme auf Landwirtschaft, Industrie und Dienstleistungssektor zurückzudrängen und Marktkräfte stärker wirksam werden zu lassen.

3.9 State Divestiture
3.9.1 The Meaning of State Divestiture
Divestiture is a generic term for worldwide macro-economic reform processes having the goal of reducing the degree of direct governmental influence on agriculture, industry and the service sectors and allowing market forces to become more effective.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  writeaway: certainly not in the context at all-it's changing something from state to private ownership or control=privatisation/deregulation and privatisation go together-handing power (what power?) over to local (what?) is not what privatisation is about afaik
1 hr
  -> who knows, the given context is "mager"; and biside its a very interesting issue
