Word: politocratic Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From Latin politicus, from Ancient Greek πολιτικός (politikós), from πολίτης (polítēs, “citizen”) + -cratic. 1. Pertaining to the role of citizens in the organization and choice of government. Example: I argue that this is still the case, although the elections in Hungary and Czechoslovakia and the rapid evolution in Poland of a modified multi-party system with organized oppositions may well create new forms of politocratic systems that go further on the road already traveled by Yugoslavia. Example: The right thing to do faced with chronic annual trillion-dollar budget deficits and globally destabilizing sovereign debts is to pare the politocratic foreign-policy mission.
Word: politocracy Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Latin politicus, from Ancient Greek πολιτικός (politikós), from πολίτης (polítēs, “citizen”) + -cracy. 1. Government that is in some manner chosen by the governed citizens. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: As a matter of historical fact, U.S. politocracy didn't begin in 1776, and was not established in a coup d'état later. There always may have been elected officials who were the people's enemies, but they were not sufficiently powerful to exert strong politocratic influence until the twentieth century. Example: By chance (or fate) the global financial crisis intervened to deliver an inflection point, providing an enabling stimulus (arguably the excuse) for the politocracy to readdress the sovereignty and subsidiarity considerations, which for many years resulted in the laggard status of the free movement of capital, aptly demonstrated by the diversity of economic policies, the kaleidoscopic regulatory structures, the MS influences over capital inflows and outflows, the national direct control over interest rates, the manipulation of foreign exchange rates and the availability of credit, all of which provide many of the funamental levers of MS's monetary policy. An argument could be constructed in support of the hypothesis that the orignial proposals were nothing more than a cynically timed power grab or anschluss by the politocracy, but this would be a shallow view given the certainty and coherency benefits that centralisation could bring.

Word: politarch Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Borrowed from Ancient Greek πολῑτᾰ́ρχης (polītắrkhēs). 1. A ruler or magistrate, especially one within a politocracy. Example: Under the pretence of going to bring the money, the condemned called on a relation, who served as janissary, or armed constable, under the orders of the politarch, Mitzo Machaliotti; and having obtained the assurance of his protection, sent word to the police-officers, that, if they chose, they might come and take the sum demanded.
