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.
The term dual control describe Egypt's indebtment to European powers in the 19th century and the resulting control of foreign governments over the Egyptian government, which finally caused Egypt to relinquish control to a cabinet largely composed of foreigners.[1]
Examples
- Egypt, indebted to European powers after the completion of the Suez Canal and thus forced to accept controllers in its government in the 1870s,[1]
- Greece, the Greek government after the signing of the Memorandum in 2010
