Handover, in the political-historical sense refers to the transfer of power such as when one elected government replaces another one, or when control over a territory is transferred.

Colonial

It can mean the transfer of former colonies (particularly those of former British colonies) to the local people. The term was also used for the transfer of the Panama Canal and the canal zone to Panama, and the returns of sovereignty to Iraq by the United States.

Examples

Olympics

Also the term (especially in the media) refers to the Olympic protocol during the closing ceremonies also known like Antwerp ceremonial when the mayor of the city that organized the Games returns the Olympic flag to the president of the International Olympic Committee, who then passes it on to the mayor of the next city to host the Olympic Games.
