Technocratic

Areas and approaches

Technocratic principles can be applied to different areas of governance and implemented in several ways. In its broadest form, a pure technocracy would be a society in which decision-making in all sectors and policy domains is guided by experts following empirical evidence. However, this theoretical ideal is not found in real-world conditions, where technocracy usually manifests as a hybrid model integrated with other approaches to governance. Some policy areas are more amenable to technocratic management than others, particularly those with clearly defined policy goals, quantifiable metrics, and reliable evidence.
