Description

Co-option, also known as co-optation and sometimes spelt cooption or cooptation, 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. Co-optation may take place in many other contexts, such as a technique by a dictatorship to control opposition.
