otoritecilik

Turkish - English

Definition of otoritecilik in Turkish English dictionary

(Sosyoloji, Toplumbilim) authoritarianism

Authoritarianism is the state of being authoritarian or the belief that people with power, especially the State, have the right to control other people's actions. Principle of unqualified submission to authority, as opposed to individual freedom of thought and action. As a political system, authoritarianism is antidemocratic in that political power is concentrated in a leader or small elite not constitutionally responsible to those governed. It differs from totalitarianism in that authoritarian governments usually lack a guiding ideology, tolerate some pluralism in social organization, lack the power to mobilize the whole population in pursuit of national goals, and exercise their power within relatively predictable limits. See also absolutism, dictatorship

A form of government distinguished by absolute power in the executive branch of a state and little legislative or judicial control over the executive branch; the power rests generally on coercive force, rather than on the popular assembly

{i} belief in total submission to government authority
