The latter term is maybe more specific in the "making do with little" sense.

I think the best question to ask with respect to that is "whose text are you translating?".
(It sounds very much like a technical term that the author will have defined either in that text or in one of their others.)

"What does cooptation mean?"
I do not think it is a word. Jack is probably right, somebody has derived it from "co-opt".
Soheil is doing a great job trying to understand the stuff he has to read and I think it very unfair that people invent words in a failed attempt to look clever. I used to chair ISO meetings, which were held in English, and I always said early in the meeting that delegates should remember not everyone has English as a first language, so "please speak slowly and clearly, and use normal English."
