neocorporatistcrático

Neocorporatistcrático is a theoretical political and economic concept that synthesizes elements of neocorporatism and cratocracy. Neocorporatism itself is a model of socio-economic organization where the state, employers, and labor unions collaborate to manage the economy and social policy. It emphasizes consensus-building and the integration of key societal interests into policymaking processes. Cratocracy, on the other hand, refers to a system of rule or government by the powerful, those who possess strength or influence.

In neocorporatistcrático, the foundational neocorporatist structure of organized interest groups engaging with the state is overlaid with a discernible tendency towards the dominance of certain powerful factions within that structure. This means that while formal channels for consultation and negotiation may exist, the ultimate direction of policy is disproportionately shaped by the most influential actors, whether they be specific industrial lobbies, powerful union confederations, or segments of the state apparatus itself. The ideal of balanced representation and consensus, central to pure neocorporatism, is therefore tempered by the practical reality of power dynamics. The "cratic" element suggests that power, rather than purely representing the broadest consensus, plays a decisive role in determining outcomes within the neocorporatist framework. This can lead to policies that favor established elites or dominant interests, even within a system designed for broader social partnership.
