Technocracy is a political ideology holding that governance and decision-making should be conducted by individuals selected on the basis of technical expertise and scientific knowledge rather than by elected representatives or political processes. It developed as a distinct doctrine primarily in the early twentieth century, with organized movements appearing in North America and parts of Western Europe during the 1920s and 1930s.
