sovereignty-association

Sovereignty-association is a political arrangement where a region or entity maintains its own distinct sovereignty while also having a close association with a larger state. This setup allows the region to govern itself and manage its internal affairs independently, while still benefiting from certain protections or resources provided by the larger state. Essentially, it balances autonomy with collaboration, enabling the region to maintain its identity and decision-making power while being part of a broader political framework. This model is often discussed in contexts like Quebec in Canada, where there are calls for greater self-governance.
