A '''client state''', in the context of [[international relations]], is an umbrella term that broadly refers to any [[State (polity)|state]] economically, politically, and militarily subordinated to a more powerful '''controlling state'''. It typically describes a [[bilateral relationship]] that is mutually beneficial, characterized by different but shared obligations.Michael Graham Fry, Erik Goldstein, Richard Langhorne.
