corporatist
Organized interest advocate
Corporatist describes a political or economic system where major interest groups—business, labor, government—negotiate policy together rather than through open competition or individual representation.
The term often carries critical overtones, suggesting cozy arrangements between powerful institutions that exclude ordinary citizens: The corporatist deal was struck behind closed doors.
A corporatist is someone who advocates or operates within such a system.
