Ideocracies, or ideological dictatorships, such as the "Third
Reich", the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China have,
much more than any other kinds of autocracy, characterized the
history of the 20th century. Despite their undeniable loss of
significance, ideocracies have not disappeared from the world in
the 21st century. This book explores the functioning of ideocracies
and analyses the typical interplay of legitimation, co-optation and
repression which autocratic elites use in an attempt to stabilize
their rule. In the first part of the book, the contributors discuss
the conceptual history of the ideocracy notion. The second part
offers case studies pertaining to the Soviet State, Italy, the
National Socialist Regime, the German Democratic Republic, the
People's Republic of China, North Korea and Cuba. Finally, the
third part compares various ideocracies and draws together key
themes. Uniting the perspectives of history, philosophy and
political science through the use of case studies and systematic
comparisons, this book offers a unique examination of ideocracies
both past and present which will be of interest to students and
scholars researching political regimes, political history and
comparative politics, as well as other disciplines.
