Sync

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The political term syncraticism (“co- rule ”; from ancient Greek σύν syn “with, together” and κρατείν krateín “rule”) denotes the form of rule of a state in which the people participate in legislation and government, for example through voting or elected representatives.

Syncracy is to be distinguished from synarchy and must not be confused with the phonologically similar syncretism , a religious-philosophical or religious-historical concept of simultaneity or mixing of different religious views.

Historical reference

In the city-states of ancient Greece, different forms of rule alternated, often at short intervals: autocracy ( autocracy , dictatorships), monarchy (rule of kings), democracy (rule of the people), monocracy (rule of an individual), oligarchy (rule of a few / a few), polyarchy (polyarchy), plutocracy (rule of money), aristocracy (rule of the aristocracy).

Syncracy represents a hybrid form of democracy and monarchy, without being meant as a historical intermediate stage (in the sense of a chronological development).

Therefore syncracy is not so much the designation of a form of government per se, but of a certain element in it, namely the participation of the governed in government regardless of the actual form of government.
