technocratic
Significado: Relating to a system of governance or decision-making in which experts and technical specialists hold significant power, often at the expense of elected representatives.
Technocratic describes an approach that prioritises data, expertise, and efficiency over democratic deliberation or ideological debate. It is used in both neutral and critical senses: admirers see technocratic governance as rational and evidence-based, while critics view it as elitist and unaccountable. The term is particularly common in discussions of EU governance, central banking, and public health policy.
