autarchy
This term operates in two distinct spheres: economics and political science. In an economic sense, it describes a state of total self-sufficiency where a nation eliminates imports and exports to avoid external dependence. This is often viewed as a risky or idealistic strategy compared to the more common "autarky," though the two are frequently used interchangeably in academic literature.
In a political context, the word denotes a regime of absolute rule. It is closely related to "autocracy," but while autocracy emphasizes the process of rule by one, autarchy emphasizes the absolute nature of the power held by that individual. It carries a formal, scholarly register and is rarely used in casual conversation.
Meanings
The state of being self-sufficient, particularly in terms of economic independence or the avoidance of foreign trade.
