👉 Independence research refers to the systematic study of factors that influence and determine whether a country, region, or entity gains or maintains its sovereignty and self-governance. This research examines historical, political, economic, social, and cultural variables that can lead to independence movements or the recognition of independence. It involves analyzing the interplay between internal dynamics, such as ethnic identity, economic disparities, and political instability, and external pressures, including international relations, colonial legacies, and global geopolitics. By identifying key drivers and barriers to independence, researchers aim to provide insights into the conditions that foster or hinder the path to self-determination, helping policymakers, scholars, and activists understand and address the complexities of achieving and sustaining independence.
