Used in a legal sense to refer to a state\'s lack of constitutional subordination to another state, i.e. to its sovereignty (sense 1). In this sense, independence has an absolute character.
Used in a political sense to refer to a state\'s degree of effective freedom in its dealings with other states. In this sense, independence has a relative character – but measuring the extent of a state\'s independence is enormously difficult. |
