Nya former av icke demokratiska regimer
(2014) STVK02 20141Department of Political Science
- Abstract
- The theme of this thesis is to investigate new forms of non-democratic regimes with the purpose to develop a new model. The phenomenon is investigated using a qualitative method that includes Bolivia, Nicaragua and Venezuela. Due to these countries’ different backgrounds but similar outcome, they will strengthen the new model. The cases are analysed through a descriptive analysis that is disposed by how non-democratic regimes consolidate their power through legitimacy and control. The theory is based on three main areas of non-democratic regimes, which are: the military regime, the one-party state and the personalist regime. The new model could be named democratic dictatorship. The three regimes strive to legitimise themselves by recurrent... (More)

The new model could be named democratic dictatorship. The three regimes strive to legitimise themselves by recurrent democratic elections and with an extensive popular support. During the mandate periods the regimes exercise an institutional control, which would favour them in upcoming elections. The leaders see themselves as popularly chosen to conduct a political project and they therefore need to assure a reinforced and prolonged power. The regime is designed as an interplay between the military as supportive, the party as dominating and the president as a strong and unifying leader. (Less)

- I föreliggande studie undersöks nya former av icke demokratiska regimer med syftet att utveckla en ny modell. Fenomenet studeras kvalitativt och inkluderar Bolivia, Nicaragua och Venezuela. Tillsammans ska dessa med sina bakomliggande skillnader men gemensamma utfall stärka den nya modellen. Fallen redogörs för genom en beskrivande analys disponerad via hur icke demokratiska regimer konsoliderar sin makt genom legitimitet och kontroll. Teorin tar avstamp i tre huvudområden för icke demokratiska regimer, vilka är militärregim, enparti stat samt personalistisk regim och avser ge influenser till den nya modellen. Den nya modellen kan benämnas med demokratisk diktatur. Regimerna strävar efter att legitimeras via återkommande demokratiska val... (More)
- I föreliggande studie undersöks nya former av icke demokratiska regimer med syftet att utveckla en ny modell. Fenomenet studeras kvalitativt och inkluderar Bolivia, Nicaragua och Venezuela. Tillsammans ska dessa med sina bakomliggande skillnader men gemensamma utfall stärka den nya modellen. Fallen redogörs för genom en beskrivande analys disponerad via hur icke demokratiska regimer konsoliderar sin makt genom legitimitet och kontroll. Teorin tar avstamp i tre huvudområden för icke demokratiska regimer, vilka är militärregim, enparti stat samt personalistisk regim och avser ge influenser till den nya modellen. Den nya modellen kan benämnas med demokratisk diktatur. Regimerna strävar efter att legitimeras via återkommande demokratiska val och stort folkligt stöd. Under mandatperioderna utövar regimerna en institutionell kontroll vilket ska gynna dem i kommande val. Ledarna ser sig som utvalda av folket för att leda ett politiskt projekt och behöver därför försäkra sig om en stärkt och förlängd makt. Regimen utformas via ett samspel mellan kontrollområdena militär som stöttande, partiet som dominerande och presidenten som en stark och enande ledare. (Less)
