Authoritarianism is a form of government characterized by strong (usually central) power that demands obedience to authority and limited political and civil freedoms. While a multitude of different typologies has been developed by political scientists to classify authoritarian states, qualities commonly associated with authoritarian regimes include the absence of free and competitive democratic elections and one-party state, as well as censorship, and minimal power restrictions.
History
Authoritarianism arose during the transition from Tribes to cities. The first authoritarians were
Monarchs, who had gained power through dynasties. Later in Greece,
Democracy arose, which quickly became authoritarian. This stayed relatively the same until File:Enlightnenment.png Enlightenment, which resulted in
numerous
rebellions against authority. These new positions
quickly
became authoritarian, thus continuing the cycle.
Leaders and whose regimes have commonly been regarded as being Authoritarian include Saddam Hussein in
Iraq,
Francisco Franco in
Spain,
Antonio de Oliveira Salazar in
Portugal,
Alfredo Stroessner in
Paraguay,
Augusto Pinochet in
Chile,
Ruhollah Khomeini in
Iran,
Fidel Castro in
Cuba,
Emperor Hirohito in
Japan,
Saudi Arabia,
Muammar Gaddafi in
Libya,
Ho Chi Minh in
Vietnam,
Vladimir Putin in
Russia,
Alexandr Lukashenko in
Belarus, etc.
Other famous examples include Juan Peron in
Argentina,
Maximilien Robespierre in
France, and more recently,
Hamas and
Fatah in
Palestine.
