pro-state
Favoring sovereign authority
Pro-state describes a political position favoring strong government authority, expanded state powers, or government intervention in economic and social matters.
The term often appears in debates about the proper scope of government: pro-state policies, a pro-state agenda.
It contrasts with libertarian, anti-state, or free-market positions.
The candidate's pro-state rhetoric appealed to voters who wanted more public services.
