corporative
Shared group structure
Corporative describes systems organized around corporate bodies or professional groups rather than individuals or geographic regions.
In political contexts, it refers to corporatism—a system where economic and social policy is made through negotiation among organized interest groups like labor unions, business associations, and the state.
The corporative state sought to replace class conflict with cooperation among industries.
The word appears most often in discussions of early 20th-century European political experiments.
