Expertocracy is an artificial word and means the rule or interpretive sovereignty of experts or experts. It can be understood as a collective term for z. B .:

Criticism is expressed against this approach insofar as that in some niches, such as criminal prosecution, certain interest groups are not represented or only to a lesser extent, whereas the "experts" can exert a strong influence on democratic processes.
