Dominion theology (also known as dominionism) is a group of Christian political ideologies that seek to institute a nation governed by Christians based on their personal understandings of biblical law.

If so then every denomination is part of dominionism. Roman Catholicism, Anglicanism, Lutheranism, Baptist etc.
To my knowledge Lee had no interest in politics and governing any nation with Christians. Roman Catholicism on the other hand.... |
Not exactly but by you defining all segments of Dominion theology by using this definition you are setting up a strawman. Lee's teachings do share this characteristic of the Pentecostal Latter Rain movement which is also considered dominionism;
"The Latter Rain taught that God saw the church organized not into denominational camps, but along geographical lines. They expected that in the coming last days, the various Christian denominations would dissolve, and the true church would coalesce into citywide churches under the leadership of the newly-restored apostles and prophets."
Again, Christian dominionism covers of broad spectrum of thought. The main premise being that certain preparations need to be made by Christians on earth in order to usher in Christ's return whether that be in the political, cultural, or religious spheres or all of the above.
