“Illiberal” Democracy -- Authoritarianism in Disguise
[ send me this paper ]
This 10
page report discusses the idea of “illiberal” democracy and how
in nations throughout the world, democratic elections are held
and then pointed to as examples of the democratization of the
country. Such systems are those which claim to be democracies but
are actually a hybrid in which political liberties exist but
civil liberties are limited. The rule of the people is determined
by what those ruling the people want them to want. Peru serves as
an excellent example of that process and is discussed in the
paper. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
