“Illiberal” Democracy -- Authoritarianism in Disguise
[ send me this paper ]
This 10
page report discusses the idea of “illiberal” democracy and how

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. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
