Answer:

patrimonialism

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi! The correct answer is Patrimonialism. It is a form of traditional political domination, studied by Weber. Patrimonialism is one of the manifestations of power systems concentrated in one or a few people. They handle all the assets of society as if they were their personal property; it was a form of government in the post-colonial era.
