Authoritarian States (Part 12 of 13) - Consolidation and maintenance of power - Consent
When trying to explain the rule of historical authoritarian regimes there is a tendency to focus on social control, the fear of citizens in the face of the coercive police state or the power of propaganda to brainwash the masses. After all, why would anyone willingly and rationally support a dictatorship? The active, explicit consent of a least some of the governed can be achieved through engaging them politically, through co-opting them into positions of power, through creating social mobility and by appealing to their ideological ambitions. But consent can also be provided indirectly, implicitly by giving enough of the rest of the people reason to let the authoritarian state continue to rule. The old adage of ‘bread and circuses’ explains how keeping the population well fed and entertained is central to consent. But also exploiting people’s tendency to want to conform can be a useful mechanism when combined with social control through the media and education.

Authoritarian States (Part 11 of 13) - Consolidation and maintenance of power - Persuasion
zhlédnutí 14Před 12 hodinami
Persuasion is also known as informal social control. The goal of informal social control is to be able to direct people’s behaviour, without the people being consciously aware that their behaviour is being directed. This includes a wide range of state controls over the media, education, and culture in general. Some of these themes we will return to in our next lesson on authoritarian policies, ...
Authoritarian States (Part 10 of 13) - Consolidation and maintenance of power - Coercion
zhlédnutí 24Před 19 hodinami
In this lesson we’ll begin to look at how the authoritarian state reinforces, extends, and maintains its newly acquired power. As we have seen previously, the state uses a mixture coercion, persuasion, and consent to control its citizens. In this film we focus on coercion, the state’s formal social control of the individual. Formal social control can be divided into the legal coercion of new la...
Authoritarian States (Part 9 of 13) - Emergence - Methods used - IB History
zhlédnutí 40Před 21 hodinou
Human agency encourages us to consider the methods employed by the historical participants to establish an authoritarian regime. We can use a Shakespearean metaphor to help us make sense of this distinction of stucture and agency. 'All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely Players;' If the structural factors are the stage, directions, costumes, and script, then agency refers to ...
Authoritarian States (Part 8 of 13) - Emergence - War - IB History
zhlédnutí 42Před dnem
In George Orwell’s 1984, the main character ‘Winston could not definitely remember a time when his country had not been at war’. In fact, in 1984 there is a state of perpetual war between the nations of Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia. For democracy to be effective there must be a culture of toleration, compromise, and open rational debate; a peaceful social interaction that revolves around the p...
Authoritarian States (Part 7 of 13) - Emergence - Structural factors - IB History

Structural factors refer to the context that makes the rise to power of an authoritarian state more likely. Authoritarian regimes are unusual in countries that are rich, socially stable and that have a tradition of constitutionally limited, civilian government.  If they do emerge in these sorts of countries, it is usually the result of a crisis, brought about by external factors such as war or ...
Authoritarian States (Part 6 of 13) - Coercion, persuasion and consent - IB History

In this lesson we look at the nature of state power. How is the state able to control people, rule over people, make people do what the state wants rather than what the individual wants? For example, I don’t want to give large sums of my hard-earned money to the state, but I agree to pay my taxes. You might not want to go to school but you do. And although humans are genetically predisposed to ...

What makes totalitarian regimes special? This is a response to the IB syllybus requirement to consider the 'extent to which authoritarian control was achieved'. Drawing on the work of political scientists Juan Linz, Barbara Geddes and Ronald Wintrobe, this lesson attempts to identify the key characteristics that distinguish totalitarian states from other forms of authoritarian government.
Authoritarian States (Part 4 of 13) - The problem with democracy - IB History

Modern authoritarianism emerged at a time when modern democratic govenment was beginning to become the norm. But not everyone welcomed democracy. This film aims to explain why. Firstly, there was the belief that the common man (and certainly woman) was just intellectually unable to comprehend the complex matters of state and in were no position to make the informed choices democracy requires. T...
Authoritarian States (Part 3 of 13) - What is democracy? - IB History

The term ‘democracy’ originates from the Greek, ‘demos’ meaning ‘people’ and ‘kratos’ meaning ‘power’. The right of all citizens to elect their government is therefore what most people understand by democracy. But if we are to understand authoritarianism fully, we need to understand that democracy means more than voting once every five years. A democracy has four key characteristics: fair elect...

Firstly, modern authoritarian states were/are consciously modern and did not and could not rely upon traditional forms of authority to justify their rule. Secondly is the importance of ideology. In the absence of either inherited or electoral legitimacy, rule had to be justified ideologically. The new authoritarianism proposed an alternative ideological basis to liberalism, whether in fascist o...

As the French author Flaubert once said, ‘Writing history is like drinking an ocean and pissing a cupful’ Heritage is easy, history is hard. Heritage cherry picks from a past that has already been neatly sorted and uses what it fancies for whatever reason. In contrast, history is a methodical, sometimes lonely existence of reading, checking and double checking, of immersing yourself in the past...

    If you were white, things were f ing awesome. For those that grew up poor during the Great Depression and THEN fought in WWII, you JUST wanted the real peace and quiet. Monotony and a place to SETTLE DOWN. The GI Bill sent millions of veterans to college for free. THEN the FHA loans were low interest could get yourself that "starter" home. If you had a job at a factory or working white collar, it paid well and gave you good benefits. So after growing up poor and seeing hell, now you can get and PROVIDE for your kids and make sure they never would experience what you went through. Now if you were any other minority, you got a middle finger.

    Isn't the horror of Parson's fate that by complying with utter obedience to Big Brother, he probably thought he would be safe from the brutal tyranny he helped to maintain. Yet even those who observe the rules of InSoc fall prey to its brutalism, denounced as traitors and liquidated either physically or mentally destroyed by Room 101. This is the true horror of such a totalitarian system-no one is safe from its predation.

      Yeah, 1984 was largely inspired not by a vision of the future but by the actual state of the United Kingdom during and just after World War II, when the populace was under martial law and everything was rationed and free speech was heavily restricted. The Allied powers were really no better than the Axis powers, morally speaking.
