In Brazil, 'separation projects' are commonly discussed in corporate restructuring contexts, particularly regarding the division of state-owned enterprises or multinational company operations. In Portugal, the term is used more formally in institutional and governmental discourse. The concept gained prominence in business literature following major corporate demergers and privatizations in both countries during the 1990s and 2000s.
