Synarchism

Scope note: Meaning "joint rule" or "harmonious rule,” the term refers to several political ideologies, the most prominent of which were prominent in France in the 19th century and in Mexico in the 1930s. The term was used by Alexandre Saint-Yves d'Alveydre (1842-1909) in "La France vraie" to describe a form of government in reaction to the emergence of anarchist ideologies and movements; this political formula would include social differentiation and hierarchy, but with collaboration between social classes. It also refers to an ideology and political movement in Mexico beginning in the 1930s, historically originating in the Roman Catholic extreme right, and violently opposed to the populist and secularist policies of the revolutionary governments in power.
