Sciulli argues that the existing conceptual frameworks of political
and social theory restrict both theorists and empirical researchers
to a narrow definition of authoritarianism. This 1992 book focuses
on government structure and fails to take account of forms of
social control exercised outside the governmental sphere. Rather
than define authoritarianism primarily by contrast to liberal
democracy, Sciulli argues, we need to broaden our conception of
authoritarianism to include 'social authoritarianism', referring to
social control imposed by private organizations and institutions.
Sciulli develops an alternative conceptual framework, which he
calls the theory of societal constitutionalism. He explains how the
theory can be used to assess whether social order in a society,
whether democratic or authoritarian in political rule, is
characterized by some degree of social authoritarianism. The book
will be important reading for theorists in sociology, political
science and legal studies.
