Definition: In political science, a "subsidist" is someone who supports or financially contributes to policies that benefit specific groups of people. These include individuals, organizations, and governments. For example, in the context of international aid, a subsidy might be given by a country to help poorer countries access essential services like healthcare, education, and infrastructure improvements. This could be seen as a form of "subsidy" because it is financially contributed by the recipient (the government or other organization) rather than
