Dual control (politics)

Dual control is the situation in which a national government agrees to share control of its country with representatives of foreign governments, called controllers, because it is indebted to them.

Examples

[edit]
  • Egypt, which was indebted to European powers after the completion of the Suez Canal and thus forced to accept controllers in its government in the 1870s.[1][2]
