The process or act of breaking up, preventing, or opposing monopolies; the implementation of antimonopolistic policies.
From antimonopol(y) + -ization (suffix indicating a process or action of making something). This is a Latinate nominalization common in policy and legal discourse, with roots in Progressive Era reform language.
Antimonopolization isn't just breaking up big companies—it's preventing them from becoming too powerful in the first place. The EU's antitrust fines against Microsoft and Apple are antimonopolization in action, and they're much stricter than American versions.
