[edit]

I know there are papers and book chapter out there that use and at least briefly describe the theory of informational autocracy. I encourage reviewing Google Scholar results and screening out the many theses/dissertations/conference papers/preprints. Chapter 8 of Formal Models of Domestic Politics has a section on IA. This analysis piece from the Washington Post is independent of the theory's authors and gives a one-paragraph explanation before using IA to analyze Belarus.

Yes, but in Fujimori's time that technology did not exist. Only traditional media existed. And the fact that a regime is only supported by the "least intelligent" sector of the country —You'll tell me how that is supposed to be measured— seems to me to be a rather arbitrary criterion.

[edit]

Not only that, there are already better and less ambiguous or arbitrary terms (like Ideocracy, Mass politics or Totalitarianism). Furthermore, almost the entire article focuses on a single government —due to its lack of uses in other contexts—. There are also no retroactive attributions.

Agreed. The two other examples (Orbán and Putin) are given no actual coverage and in Putin's case especially, I struggle to see how this applies when he has used more 'traditional' means like violence against opponents to consolidate power. ~2025-32844-27 (talk) 17:50, 11 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
