Authoritarian political system. Overview of theoretical approaches

Summary/Abstract: Despite a global domination of democracy as a successful polity model, nondemocratic regimes still constitute approximately one -third of nation -states. This paper attempts to summarize a number of scholarly studies explaining the phenomenon of authoritarian government. The article proposes a classification of explanatory attempts in three broad categories: class -oriented studies, institutional analysis and political -culture approaches. In all three categories the author tries to present both quantative and qualitative studies, that have brought important insights in our understanding of the phenomenon of authoritarian government.
