Sultanistic regimes, as Juan Linz describes them, are
authoritarian regimes based on personal ideology and personal favor
to maintain the autocrat in power; there is little ideological
basis for the rule except personal power. This volume of essays
studies important sultantistic regimes in the Domanican Republic,
Cuba, Haiti, Iran, and the Philippines. Part one contains two
comparative essays, which discuss common characteristics of
sultanistic regimes, compare them to totalitarian and authoritarian
regimes, and trace common patterns for these regimes' rise and
fall. Chehabi and Linz argue that sultanistic regimes do not offer
favorable transitions to democracy, no matter what the person in
power says. Part two applies Linz's model to country studies.
