Limitation as art reworked in autocratic approach (15)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

totalitarianism

'autocratic approach' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'limitation as art reworked' is the wordplay.
'reworked' indicates anagramming the letters.
'limitation'+'as'+'art'='limitationasart'
'limitationasart' is an anagram of 'TOTALITARIANISM'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for totalitarianism that I've seen before include "Dictatorship" , "Allowing no opposition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
