Märksõnad:
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.

Explores the nature of modern authoritarianism to confront and counter the increasing dangers it poses to contemporary democracies.

Arvustused

Haig Patapans book, The Modern Tyrant, is one of the most significant recent contributions to the leadership literature. It is a must-read for anyone with a serious interest in leadership, especially, though not exclusively, in politics. Patapans book is deeply rooted in the classics, but it is, alas, completely contemporary in its application. Buy it. Keep it. -- Barbara Kellerman, Harvard University
