Sovereignty Association is a political concept primarily associated with the relationship between a region and a larger state. It allows a region, such as Quebec, to maintain its own governance and cultural identity while still being linked to the larger state, like Canada. This arrangement aims to provide the region with greater autonomy over its affairs while benefiting from the economic and security advantages of being part of a larger nation. The idea gained prominence during the Quebec sovereignty movement in the late 20th century. Proponents argue that Sovereignty Association would enable Quebec to control its own laws, language, and resources, while still enjoying shared services and economic ties with Canada. This model seeks a balance between independence and collaboration.
