confederation
의미: An organisation consisting of a number of parties or groups united in an alliance or league; a looser form of political union than a federation.
Confederation describes an alliance in which member states or groups retain significant autonomy while cooperating on shared objectives. It is distinguished from a federation, in which the central government has greater authority. The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) is a well-known British example. Historically, the Swiss Confederation and the Articles of Confederation in early American history are notable instances. Common collocations include 'a confederation of,' 'the Confederation of British Industry,' and 'form a confederation.'
