I think the sentences below mean something slightly different from one to another, but can someone explain to me exactly what the differences are? Thanks
"Implementation of a new policy under THE control of a government ..."
"Implementation of a new policy under A control of the government ..."
"Implementation of a new policy under THE control of THE government ..."
"Implementation of a new policy under a control of a government ..."
"Implementation of a new policy under THE control of a government ..."
"Implementation of a new policy under A control of the government ..."
"Implementation of a new policy under THE control of THE government ..."
"Implementation of a new policy under a control of a government ..."

Are you suggesting that with the "right" contexts, all expressions could be correct?
This is exactly what I am trying to find out - which context should be paired with which expression.
I can't come up with examples for each one of them myself, and thus am confused about the differences among them.

The only one I can find a correct context for is the the/the option.

"under a control" is highly unlikely. With a real struggle, it seems just about possible if "a control" refers to some controlling measure that the government has taken.
"the government" is much more likely, usually meaning a specific government that's identified by context.
"a government" is less likely, but is possible if you are talking about the behaviour of governments in ge
