A coordinated effort by individuals or groups within a political or diplomatic framework to deliberately undermine, sabotage, or obstruct collective goals, negotiations, or institutional functions for personal, ideological, or strategic gain. This form of collaboration while appearing as teamwork aims to erode trust, create instability, or weaken opponents through tactics such as misinformation, bad-faith negotiations, strategic non-cooperation, or bureaucratic sabotage. It is often employed to stall progress, shift blame, or manipulate public perception while maintaining plausible deniability.
