Co-option
Co-option (also co-optation, sometimes spelt coöption or coöptation) has two common meanings. It may refer to the process of adding members to an elite group at the discretion of members of the body, usually to manage opposition and so maintain the stability of the group. Outsiders are "co-opted" by being given a degree of power on the grounds of their elite status, specialist knowledge, or potential ability to threaten essential commitments or goals ("formal co-optation").

Co-optation is associated with the cultural tactic of recuperation, and is often unde ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
