The "third wave of democratization", which started in 1974, led to the establishment of democracy in about two-thirds of the world's countries. But in the remaining third, there are autocracies, that is, political regimes in which the people have no formal or actual opportunity to influence the composition of government bodies and their policies. For the most part, these regimes imitate democracy, sometimes quite plausibly. The reader of this book will learn how to distinguish autocracy from democracy, get acquainted with the features of the types of autocracy that prevailed in the XNUMXth century - monarchical, military and party regimes. Modern autocracies are, as a rule, electoral authoritarian regimes, in which the democratic entourage serves as a cover for unlimited personal power. This book, written by Grigory Golosov, Doctor of Political Science, Professor of Comparative Political Science, Dean of the Faculty of Political Science at the European University at St. Petersburg, will help to understand their nature and prospects for democratization.
