Junta is a Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian term for a civil deliberative or administrative council. In English, the term, even when used alone, generally refers to a "military junta", the government of an authoritarian state run by high-ranking officers of a military. The literal meaning of the word derives from juntar ; a group of people with a common purpose.
