autarky

autarchy, autarkyThese two derivatives of similar but different Greek roots (archein, to rule; arkeein, to suffice) are frequently confused. ‘Autarchy’ means self-government, usually nowadays without pejorative overtones. ‘Autarky’ is invariably used pejoratively to mean self-government in a manner condemned by the speaker. A regime is autarkic if it tries to be self-sufficient by cutting off trade and intercourse with the rest of the world.

absolute sovereignty

IN BRIEF: n. - A political system governed by a single individual; Economic independence as a national policy.

Tutor's tip: A country governed by "autarchy" (autocratic rule) is unlikely to have "autarky" (national policy of establishing an independent and self-sufficient economy).
