Post-politics

Post-politics is a term in social sciences used to describe the effects of depoliticisation—a move away from the antagonistic political discourse, empowering unelected technocrats with decisions—in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, when the representative democracies of the post–Cold War era had arguably entered depoliticisation. Generally related to and used alongside similar terms such as "post-democracy" and "the post-political", the term "post-politics" carries negative connotations of depriving the people from having a voice on issues deemed settled by the elites.
