| | Authoritarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Authoritarian regimes may or may not have a rule of law. | | | Authoritarianism describes a form of government characterized by strict obedience to the authority of the state, which often maintains and enforces social control through the use of oppressive measures. | | | As an example of this difficulty, modern democracies once enforced laws that are now widely considered abusive and authoritarian: for instance, countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, until recently enforced sodomy laws imposing the moral and religious values of the majority over matters of private life. |

| | Research topics include the socialization of authoritarianism (e.g., parental influences on the formation of authoritarianism), authoritarians as leaders, correlates of authoritarianism, validity and assessment of the F-scale, and social issues and authoritarianism (e.g., police officers as authoritarians). | | | Individuals high in legal authoritarianism, compared to those low in legal authoritarianism, were more likely to convict a defendant. | | | Example submission beliefs include right-wing authoritarians' acceptance of illegal wire taps and searches, and lack of support for documents such as the bill of rights. |

| | Tod H. Mikuriya, M.D. |
| | Authoritarianism, a contemporary term for despotism, favors authority over individual freedom and specifically relates to governance in which the individual's rights are subordinated to the interests of the group, state, or institution. | | | The use of coercion to enforce prohibitive social sanctions to protect the individual from him/herself is seen as unpleasant but necessary and corrective. | | | In the official state of war civil rights are summarily suspended. |

| | INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: WEAPON OF AUTHORITARIANISM OR TOOL OF DEMOCRACY? |
| | That, then, is the essential battleground between authoritarian and democratic models of IT: should someone or some class of people, and in particular politicians and senior public sector executives, be permitted to have the power to prevent transgressions? | | | These have little to do with the protection of people, however, but rather serve to protect the integrity of data, and of the system, and to legitimate the repressive system through the provision of nominal rights for data subjects. | | | Proponents of hierarchical structures and social engineering, chief amongst them senior public sector executives, must at the very least appreciate the limits of tolerance of authoritarian measures within their society. |

| | SSRN-The Inherent Authoritarianism in Democratic Regimes by Richard Pildes |
| | The article documents the modes of analyses that have stood in the way of courts adequately recognizing the authoritarian tendencies of democratic regimes; these modes include "the allure of romantic individualism" through which courts mistakenly view democracy as a matter of individual participation of atomistic actors. | | | But the task of constitutionalism in modern times has been too narrowly defined, in many courts, as the protection of individual rights and equality, at the expense of a focus on protecting the structures of democratic political conflict. | | | The article concludes with studies of the Czech and German Constitutional Courts, which by contrast to the United States Supreme Court have taken a more aggressive stance towards the relationship of democracy and constitutional law in order to better resist the inevitable tendencies in all democracies towards more authoritarian control of political power. |

| | Beyond Authoritarianism |
| | Control becomes authoritarian when someone with authorityby virtue of position, role, or some perceived capacityexpects to be obeyed without question, and either punishes or refuses to deal with those who do not obey. | | | Authoritarianism, briefly defined, is a form of relationship in which the establishment, protection, and exercise of power become ends in themselves. | | | In the authoritarian relationship, even though common goals may be endlessly articulated, the primary task is actually the maintenance of power. |

| | Human relationships are in terms of the controller and the controlled, society is arranged in hierarchies (vertical organisation), and society is centralised, at the top a lone figure, variously a chief, king, priest, or some other single person. | | | Later authoritarian political systems would create personality cults into which an entire nation could place its collected self, at the price of losing individual identity. | | | The top figure necessarily has to be special, deified, or made royal, their personality exaggerated. |
