Notably, the third wave of democratization, unlike its predecessors, has not been followed by a reverse wave. However, in several countries, democratically elected leaders have narrowly interpreted democracy as the rule of the majority, disregarding other essential conditions for democratic governance, such as the rule of law and the protection of human rights. This unique system of government, often referred to as \"new authoritarianism,\" departs from the traditional authoritarian model defined by Juan J. Linz.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe future of new authoritarianism remains uncertain, as it poses a significant challenge to democratic norms and values. While some scholars argue that new authoritarianism may be a temporary phenomenon driven by economic or political instability, others suggest that it could endure as a distinct political style. As such, there is a need for continued research and analysis to better understand the dynamics and consequences of new authoritarianism in the world today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 394g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 155 x 217 x 19 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783847422211\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jerzy J.
