didominasi

Didominasi is a term in Indonesian used to describe a situation in which a particular actor, group, or factor holds predominant influence or control within a given domain. It is the passive form of the root related to dominasi (dominance), often used to indicate that something is being dominated by another party, rather than to emphasize the agency of the dominating party.

In usage, didominasi appears in discussions across politics, economy, media, and culture. For example, a political system may be said to be didominasi by a single party when that party consistently wins elections and influences policy. An industry can be didominasi by a few large firms when competition is limited and market power concentrates in a small number of players. The term can also describe cultural or linguistic influence, where one group’s norms and practices prevail over others.

Implications of didominasi commonly concern power dynamics, competition, and access. The state of being didominasi may reflect advantages that limit diversity, innovation, or fair opportunities. Analysts may assess didominasi through metrics such as market concentration, ownership of media, or representation in institutions, and may discuss policy responses to encourage pluralism and reduce undue dominance.
