Of, relating to, or characterized by cooptation; tending to coopt or incorporate into a larger system.
Formed from cooptation with the adjectival suffix -ive. The suffix -ive comes from Latin and is productive in English for creating adjectives from nouns.
Cooptative appears mostly in academic and critical writing, describing strategies or mechanisms that absorb opposition—it's the kind of analytical vocabulary that emerged from 20th-century sociology and political theory to describe how power operates.
