What does digarchy mean?

Digarchy is a term that refers to a form of governance or decision-making where two individuals or groups share power equally. It combines the prefix "di-" meaning two, with "archy," which denotes rule or governance. This structure contrasts with other forms of governance like monarchy or oligarchy, where power is concentrated in the hands of a single ruler or a small group. The term is not commonly used in political discourse and may sometimes appear in discussions about collaborative leadership models.
