“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.
