==Definition==
There is some debate as to what is the best way to define technocracy or a technocrat. Duncan McDonnell and Marco Valbruzzi, in examining European technocratic politicians, define a minister as a technocrat if "at the time of his/her appointment to government, he/she: has never held public office under the banner of a political party; is not a formal member of any party; and is said to possess recognized non-party political expertise which is directly relevant to the role occupied in government."<ref>[http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1475-6765.12054/abstract Defining and classifying technocrat-led and technocratic governments]</ref>
