The Modern Tyrant

Authoritarian Leadership in Theory and Practice
Explores the nature of modern authoritarianism to confront and counter the increasing dangers it poses to contemporary democracies.
The Modern Tyrant argues that modern authoritarian leaders resemble classical tyrants but are distinctive in three ways: their ambitions for wealth and glory are shaped by modernity (especially nationalism, religion and ideology); their techniques are novel, combining authoritarian and democratic forms, and finally, they are much more powerful, able to exploit modern propaganda techniques and technology to enhance their control and dominance.
