Rule of a country by a dominant elite who
repress opponents and the press to maintain
their own wealth and power. They are
frequently indifferent to activities not
affecting their security, and rival power
centres, such as trade unions and political
parties, are often allowed to exist, although
under tight control. An extreme form is
totalitarianism.
