English term or phrase: binderism

Context: a 'fluffy' text...

French translation:amalgames

Explanation:
Une proposition....

au-delà des simples amalgames géographiques / des amlagames géographiques simplistes

"Bindersim" a une connotation négative ici. Dans "amalgame" on retrouve l'idée véhiculée par "to bind": "lier", "unir" ; "binder" : "agglomérant", "liant".

Explanation:
C'est plus dans ce sens que je le comprends, à cause de "bind" et du contexte, mais je ne connais pas non plus ce mot, "binderism".
